Jeff Bezos reportedly just dropped $23 million on the biggest home in Washington, DC - see inside
The billionaire founder of Amazon and owner of The Washington Post has been revealed as the buyer of a pair of mansions in the Kalorama section of DC, according to the Post, who cited a source familiar with the deal.
The property totals 27,000 square feet, and Bezos reportedly intends to turn it into a single-family home, the largest in Washington, DC. The deal closed for $23 million on October 21, with the buyer named as Cherry Revocable Trust. It was most recently listed for $22 million.
The homes sit in the Kalorama section of DC, a popular destination for well-heeled Washington residents. The Obamas will move to a house in the neighborhood after the president leaves office on January 20, and Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner's newly purchased DC home sits just a stone's throw away.
Bezos has an estimated net worth of $69.5 billion.
The Post notes that Bezos and his family will likely use the space as a pied À terre, maintaining his primary residence in Washington state. Renovation plans are currently under review by the neighborhood historical commission.
