The billionaire and Blue Origin CEO reportedly paid $79 million for a seven-bedroom, 14-bathroom mansion set on 1.84 acres in Indian Creek Village, according to Bloomberg. The ultra-luxe, ultra-private neighborhood is near Miami Beach and earned the nickname Billionaire Bunker for its residents.

Over the summer, the 59-year-old Bezos paid $68 million for a three-bedroom, waterfront home in Indian Creek Village, Fortune magazine and Bloomberg reported in August. MTM Star International was listed on Miami-Dade property records as the previous owner of the home, and, at the time, the county website did not list Bezos as the owner, but it did show the property sold in June, according to AP. County records showed the property previously sold for $1.4 million in 1982. The home has 9,300 square feet and a pool.

Originally listed for $85 million, Bezos' second home at Indian Creek Village has seven bedrooms and 14 bathrooms. The waterfront mansion features celebrity neighbors like Tom Brady, Ivanka Trump and Julio Iglesias, one of the most successful and popular Spanish singers of his era.

The 23,000-square-foot mansion at 12 Indian Creek Island Road, situated on 80,000 square feet of land, features a wood-paneled library, movie theater, wine cellar, wet bar and cabana house, according to a Facebook post by Dina Goldentayer Real Estate. Other perks include a six-car garage, sauna and elevator.

Though Bezos got a deal − paying $79 million for the home instead of $85 million − the sale is considered the most expensive home ever sold at Indian Creek Village. According to the Miami-Herald, the mansion last sold for $28 million in 2014.
