<\/p>\n

In September, a Delaware LLC paid $69.5 million for a 17,500-square-foot oceanfront estate at 255 Ocean Boulevard in Golden Beach, an exclusive oceanfront town in Miami-Dade County, a public records search by Fortune found. The buyer was a Delaware LLC, a structure that keeps the person behind the deal out of public view. <\/p>\n

But agents and other sources in town have pointed to Bezos, according to The Real Deal, and say he\u2019d likely treat the property as a beach house. Public records list the buyer as Meridian Coast LLC. Bezos hasn\u2019t publicly confirmed the deal, and representatives for Bezos didn\u2019t immediately respond to Fortune\u2019s request for comment.<\/p>\n

Routing purchases through LLCs and trusts has become a more common practice among the ultrawealthy, who increasingly see public attention as a security risk.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe goal is to ensure that, even if someone digs into ownership records, they still cannot easily connect the property back to the principal owner,\u201d Ken DeLeon, founder of Palo Alto, Calif.-based DeLeon Realty, told Fortune earlier this year.<\/p>\n

The beach house is only about a 30-minute drive from his compound in Indian Creek, also known as \u201cBillionaire Bunker,\u201d a 300-acre, man-made strip of land that has attracted the ultrawealthy. But for buyers at Bezos\u2019 level, owning another home near the one they already have isn\u2019t redundant, Mendel Fellig, founder of the Miami Beach-based Mendel Fellig Group at Compass, told Fortune.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cA buyer may already have an incredible waterfront home but also want direct access to a private stretch of beach,\u201d Fellig said. \u201cGolden Beach is one of the few places in Miami that can offer that. The second property becomes an extension of their lifestyle\u2014almost an amenity in itself.\u201d<\/p>\n

The deal set a record for a single-family home in Golden Beach, according to The Real Deal. The house has seven bedrooms and 12 bathrooms, plus a guest house, a pool and spa, and 100 feet of water frontage. It hit the market in February for $88.5 million, public records reviewed by Fortune show, and was later cut to $79.5 million.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cAcquiring a whole portfolio gives these buyers access to different residential experiences for their lifestyle while securing properties that are increasingly difficult to replicate or replace,\u201d Felling added.<\/p>\n

To be sure, Devin Kay of Douglas Elliman told Fox Business recognizable names tend to get attached to blockbuster deals when a buyer\u2019s identity is hidden.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe reality is that South Florida\u2019s billionaire buyer pool has expanded considerably,\u201d Kay told Fox Business. \u201cThere are international business owners, hedge fund executives, technology founders and multi-generational families quietly acquiring some of the most valuable real estate in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n

But if Bezos is the buyer, the Golden Beach home would join a portfolio he started building after leaving Seattle for Miami in 2023. He said at the time he wanted to be closer to his parents and to Blue Origin\u2019s operations at Cape Canaveral, but the move has also paid off at tax time. Florida has no state income or capital gains tax, and Bezos saved an estimated $1 billion in 2024 alone, Fortune previously reported, citing a Forbes calculation he would have owed about $954 million in Washington state capital gains tax on his Amazon stock sales that year.<\/p>\n

Can Miami\u2019s luxury market keep climbing?<\/p>\n

Part of what drives these purchases is that there\u2019s so little to buy.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Fellig says one of his clients recently bought a home for $30 million and got a $35 million offer to sell it a month later.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cHe declined because he couldn\u2019t replace what he had,\u201d Fellig said. \u201cThat\u2019s the dynamic in these exclusive neighborhoods\u2014even when someone is willing to pay more, there may be nowhere comparable for the owner to go.\u201d<\/p>\n

Still, Fellig cautions neighbors against reading too much into a headline sale.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThese transactions tend to raise sellers\u2019 expectations, but expectations and actual market value are two different things,\u201d he said. \u201cA nearby owner may see a headline sale and decide their home is suddenly worth 20 percent more. That doesn\u2019t mean buyers will agree.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jay Roberts, CEO of Prosper Group and developer of Bugatti Residences Miami, sees demand holding up. He points to buyers leaving higher-tax states and international buyers seeking stability. He told Fortune Miami-Dade\u2019s residential sales above $30 million have already broken the previous annual record. He also credits corporate and institutional investment, including Carnegie Mellon\u2019s planned Miami campus, which Ken Griffin is funding with $2 billion of his record $3 billion gift.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe believe Miami is still in the early stages of a growth cycle that will compound for decades,\u201d Roberts told Fortune. \u201cPeople will continue to move here\u2014especially those with a high net worth.\u201d<\/p>\n
