Jeff Bezos sold his Seattle mansion for a record $63 million before Washington passed a millionaires tax—he now lives in a $237 million Miami compound

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos sold his Seattle mansion for a record-breaking $63 million before the state introduced a millionaires tax. The mansion, located in the Hunts Point area of King County, was his most expensive home sale on record, as reported by the Puget Sound Business Journal. The property, which sits on 3.27 acres overlooking Lake Washington, was purchased for $37.5 million in 2019 and sold nearly a year later for $25.5 million more.

Bezos, who is now worth $365 billion and ranks as the world's second-richest person, moved to a $237 million compound in Miami, Florida, shortly after the sale. The new state of Washington is set to implement a 9.9% tax on household income above $1 million in 2028, which will affect around 30,000 taxpayers. The tax, which is Washington's first income tax in over 90 years, is currently on hold due to a pending lawsuit and an initiative on the November ballot that would repeal it.

Bezos and his wife, Lauren Sánchez Bezos, live in a three-home compound in Miami, where he has invested $237 million in property purchases.
