Bezos has a lot of money.
Imagine being so rich, you can casually cash out $4.1b

Bezos sold 2 million shares, worth $4.1 billion, as part of a pre-arranged trading plan between Jan. 31 and Feb. 6, according to regulatory filings. That’s the largest seven-day selldown by any executive tracked by the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, which began in 2012.

According to The Wall Street Journal, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has reportedly just bought the most expensive property in Los Angeles from David Geffen, another unimaginably wealthy man, for $165 million. (It’s the Warner Estate, which spreads out over nine acres in Beverly Hills.) That’s a wild amount of money for anything — I mean, aside from a 747? — but especially for a place you might presumably live in. (Bezos spent around $80 million on a few New York apartments earlier this year, so it’s not clear where his five-foot, seven-inch frame will primarily reside.) For context, $165 million is an eighth of a percent of Bezos’ $131.9 billion net worth.

So, what did JB get for all that cash? Oh, just a 13,600-square-foot mansion with massive terraces and gardens. Of course, there are multiple guest houses, a nursery, greenhouses, a tennis court, a swimming pool, a 9-hole golf course and its own car emporium (fancy for HUGE garage) ... with gas pumps!!!
Geffen's owned it since 1990, and he only spent $47.5 million at the time. Yes, that was a record way back then. Bezos' real estate team has been busy -- he also dropped $90 million for an undeveloped plot of land in L.A., and another $80 mil for 3 apartments in NYC, which total more than 17,000 sq. feet.

That’s his weekend home correct? I mean, it’s cute I suppose.

A Bernie supporter on the poli board earlier suggested that the government should have stormed his house and confiscated the money because nobody should be that rich.

Needs to hire some Mexicans to put on a new roof.

That’s about the size of your Gardner’s home isn’t it?

That will happen if we elect the leftists. Of course Bezos is one, so maybe he will just donate it.

Could use some landscaping and a new roof

And he’s probably going to pay a whopping 16% tax on all of that.

I would go start my own country if I had that kind of dough. I mean why the hell not?

Only Bernie supporters would believe Bezos literally keeps all his money in his house.
