Spanning nine acres, Bezos’ new showplace was originally designed in Spanish Colonial Revival style but was reimagined as a grand Georgian mansion in the 1930s by architect Roland Coate for movie mogul Jack Warner, according to the book “Master Architects of Southern California 1920–1940: Roland E. Coate.” Geffen had owned the home since 1990, when he paidAdvertisement
Media mogul David Geffen paid $47.5 million in cash for the Beverly Hills estate of movie mogul Jack Warner in 1990. He’s sold the property to Jeff Bezos for a record $165 million. At the time of Geffen’s purchase, the property featured eight bedrooms, a card room, a screening room and a domed bar. Geffen was particularly interested in Warner’s office, which had been left intact, according to the book “David Geffen Builds, Buys and Sells the New Hollywood.”
Outside, the property holds a golf course, a series of fern gardens, fountains and sculptures. A 300-foot, tree-lined drive ends at a circular motor court. Elsewhere on the grounds are a pool and tennis court. “David has the best taste of anybody, so you have the richest guy in the world buying the best of the best,” said Stephen Shapiro of Westside Estate Agency. “Why would he settle for anything less?”Bezos is currently ranked by Forbes and Bloomberg as the world’s richest man, with a net worth of $131 billion.
Congratulations!!
Time I cut loose the Amazon-everything I've let this guy have that he uses tax-free to help buy way more house than a reasonable person needs. Bezos has choices, so do I. Old ladies 'sposed to be in declutter mode anyway last time I checked. Gonna do it. FridayMotivation
Bloomberg has his Cali campaign headquarters
Quick! Somebody take all of this guy’s money!!!
165 million for a house, on the other hand people are rationing their insulin. Sounds fair.
If Amazon paid taxes, he may have had to settle for a $500,000 home. Thank goodness.
Who cares. He still wont be happy. If you need to buy a house like that, it says more about your own self absorbed life than anything else.
I wonder what that would be like...a mansion for 165 million, or fully furnished apartmennts for the poor and homeless for the same amount.....hmmmm.
And he continues to not pay his share of taxes!
Maybe it’s time to elect ewarren so these people pay their fair share?
The billionaire elite are ruining this country.
That will be a nice chunk of change for the state from the transfer tax. Pays for about 1 mile of track of the never-to-be-completed rail.
Now we ask ourselves..... 'wait, didn't we give you a huge tax break to build your company in various states? Why did we do that instead of just taxing you and being able to build roads without bankrupting the middle class?' Then we'd buy a book on economics at Amazon.
SuperNecessary
It’s disgusting that he makes that in less than a day
Only in a capitalist country can this occur!
Surely there will be renovations and upgrades.
And children in the Sudan eat MUD COOKIES to survive. No justice in this world!!!
Jeff Bezos obliterated California’s home sale price record, paying $165 million for David Geffen’s famed Warner estate in Beverly Hills. The home cost under 0.13% of Bezos' net worth.
