Current Value: $78 million*

Jeff Bezos is one of the richest people on the planet, so it’s no surprise that he owns a huge real estate portfolio. Bezos is known for buying up not just the real estate residence he plans to live in, but also the surrounding area for privacy reasons. Bezos recently purchased a tropical estate in Maui, a Hawaiian island, for $78 million.

The 2021 purchase includes a spacious, fourteen-acre tropical paradise in La Perouse Bay. The estate is spread out enough that there are no neighbors, so Bezos doesn’t have to do his usual trick of buying up neighboring homes (like he did in D.C.).
