What's Wrong With Medina? Bezos Buys $12.9M Beverly Hills Home

Jeff Bezos already owns a Beverly Hills mansion, but he decided recently to scoop up a new one.

SEATTLE, WA - Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos already owns a $25 million mansion in Beverly Hills, but he recently decided to snatch up another home in the exclusive Los Angeles enclave, according to reports. According to Realtor.com, Bezos recently bought the home next door to his existing Beverly Hills mans for $12.9 million.

Here's more from Realtor.com:

We don't have much intel, but we do know that the new property includes a 4,500-square-foot, ranch-style home. It has four bedrooms, six baths, two fireplaces, and formal living and dining rooms. The outdoor space appears to include a motor court and two gated entrances, a patio, and a pool. Bezos’ combined lots total about 2.5 acres.

Mansion Global reports that Bezos bought the property through the Seattle-based Redwood Trust, the same entity he used to purchase the bigger, bordering parcel a decade ago, according to property records.

The 53-year-old has been on a real estate buying spree. In January, he plucked the biggest house in Washington, DC, where he owns the Washington Post. The Kalorama neighborhood property, the former Textile Museum, was sold for $23 million.

As far as we know, Bezos still keeps a home in Medina right near billionaire rival Bill Gates. So if you're Jeff's neighbor, maybe he's ready to make you an offer?
