Bezos purchased the sprawling 9,420-square-foot mansion on Hunts Point in April 2019 for $37.5 million. Previously owned by late art collector Barney A. Ebsworth, the mansion boasts a variety of high-end features.

It has three spacious bedrooms, four bathrooms, a private elevator, walk-in closets, a second kitchen for catering, a rooftop terrace complete with a fireplace, and a glass walkway linking the main house to a two-story guesthouse. The home also sits on 300 feet of prime Lake Washington waterfront.

After announcing in November 2023 that he was moving to Miami, Bezos explained the decision to leave the Pacific Northwest, where he lived since 1994 when he founded Amazon. "Seattle has been my home since 1994 when I started Amazon out of my garage," Bezos said in an Instagram post.

He also shared that his parents had recently moved back to Miami, where they had lived when Bezos was growing up. He and fiancée Lauren Sánchez also want to be closer to them. "Also," Bezos added, "Blue Origin’s operations are increasingly shifting to Cape Canaveral."

While he departs Seattle, Bezos retains two additional properties in the city: a $10 million home acquired in 1998 and a $45 million adjacent residence he bought in 2010, though he's reportedly looking to sell these as well.

His move to Miami is part of a larger shift, as his new Miami portfolio includes three mansions on Indian Creek Island, also known as "Billionaire Bunker."

It will undoubtedly remain one of the most iconic homes of the Pacific Northwest, symbolizing the immense success and wealth of the Amazon founder. Though he is moving on, the legacy of his time in Seattle, as well as his remarkable home, will not be easily forgotten.
