A mystery buyer is splashing out a whopping $110 million for a strip of land next to Jeff Bezos.  Identified only as “an international finance executive,” this deep-pocketed buyer just

entered into contract for a roughly 2-acre plot of prime South Florida real estate next door to the Amazon billionaire, the Wall Street Journal reported. When finalized, the sale price will

make this purchase just $10 million shy of Miami’s most expensive home sale. The waterfront parcel is directly adjacent to two Bezos properties on South Florida’s invite-only Indian Creek

Island, known as the “Billionaire Bunker.” EXPLORE MORE The heavily restricted man-made barrier island has its own police force and marine patrol to guard just 41 homes. When the undeveloped

plot hit the market for an eye-watering $200 million in December, all eyes were on the Amazon billionaire to snap it up.  Bezos owns three properties on Indian Creek Island — the

neighboring $68 million and $79 million properties he snagged in 2023, plus an $87 million home he purchased on the other side of the landmass in 2024.  Although he was approached about

purchasing the parcel, the Journal reported, the billionaire declined to move forward. The impressive property at 9 Indian Creek Island Road boasts views of downtown Miami and 200 feet of

Biscayne Bay frontage — space enough for a deep-water megayacht dock. The listing also advertised a “conceptual design-build plan” for a 25,000-square-foot home by ultra-luxury builder Manny

Angelo Varas of MV Group USA. Varas confirmed details of the pending sale to the Journal. The plot’s sellers remain unknown. They are “private people” who bought the land for $27.5 million

in 2018 with since-scrapped plans to build, listing agent Ilya Reznik previously told The Post.  The land received two price cuts before a buyer finally bit. The property received a new $150

million price tag in March, followed more recently by a reduction to $130 million.  Besides Bezos, the plot’s new owner can count the likes of Tom Brady, Carl Icahn, Jared Kushner and

Ivanka Trump among their fellow community members.  The pending sale is another notch in the belt for South Florida’s ultra-swanky man-made islands. The Russian Billionaire Vladislav Doronin

sold his Star Island home — which once belonged to Shaquille O’Neal — for $120 million in March, marking a new home sale record for Miami-Dade county.
