Jeff Bezos Treats Himself to a Slice of Hawaii Idyll for $78M

Jeff Bezos is now formerly the wealthiest man in the world. But his net worth of $201 billion does allow him to continue to acquire superb properties.

He’s got Manhattan covered, and of course L.A. too; his holdings in D.C. include a museum converted into a mansion. This spring, in a blinding flash of apprehension, Bezos realized he had no super-property in the Hawaiian Archipelago, and so off to paradise he flew, checkbook in hand, to join other heavyweights in basking in the spirit of aloha. Tech moguls who’ve invested substantially in a slice of Hawaii wonder include Mark Zuckerberg and Larry Ellison.

It was the island of Maui that presented Bezos with his newest estate purchase possibility, according to Pacific Business News. The price recorded is unknown, but an in-the-ballpark figure of $78 million is widely reported. If true, it may have set a sales record for the island.

The property spans 14 acres, with a private beach included. The accommodations are apparently distributed across several buildings; the estate is a compound. The main house measures about 4,500 sq. ft.

Bezos has recently donated to local nonprofits and charities, and has made contributions toward the preservation of historical sites on the island.

There’s another real estate transaction happening in the family, sort of; Bezos happens to be cousins with country music superstar George Strait. The latter is offering his custom-built home in San Antonio for $6.9 million.
