Jeff Bezos’ Parents Buy Waterfront Mansion in Miami

The parents of Jeff Bezos invested $34 million in a waterfront Coral Gables mansion with over 12,000 square feet. Records show that the estate was purchased by Jackie and Mike Bezos, the parents of Amazon’s founder, last week.

Through a Delaware-based limited liability company called Forgotten Fountain, the couple bought the property located at 9475 Journeys End Road in Coral Gables.

The sellers of the estate were the former CEO of PetMD, Raul Calvoz, and his wife Raquel Cordon. According to property records, the couple paid $8.5 million for the home in 2018.

According to the description, the house has undergone a complete renovation and now features six bedrooms and seven bathrooms with floor-to-ceiling windows and French doors throughout. The property sits on more than 2 acres and has 200 feet of water frontage.

In addition, the offering lists a chef’s kitchen with double ovens, views of the pool and ocean beyond, a quartz wet bar, a rock climbing wall, a gym, a wine cellar, and other luxury amenities. The residence also features 2 terraces over two floors.

A pool, a lounge area, an outdoor kitchen, and a dining area with a built-in grill are all located outside. The mansion is perfect for car enthusiasts with a 9-car garage as well as a backup generator.

With a net worth of around $144 billion, Jeff Bezos is currently the second-richest person in the world. The internet giant spent $165 million purchasing a Los Angeles property that was originally owned by music billionaire David Geffen, making it one of the biggest purchases of 2020.

Records also show that Bezos’ parents also purchased an adjacent property to the Coral Gables home for almost $40 million in an off-market deal.
