In addition to buying this property, Bezos also acquired a plot of land from the estates of the late Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen for $ 90 million. Bezos and his girlfriend, Lauren Sanchez, reportedly inspected Los Angeles real estate for a while before deciding to acquire Warner Estate.
The estate and land are just the latest additions to Bezos’s real estate portfolio, which already includes two houses in Los Angeles, a mansion in Washington, a ranch in Texas, a Seattle estate and three adjoining apartments in New York worth about $ 80 million put together.
Bezos spent more on Warner Estate than Amazon paid this year. Amazon will pay $ 162 million in income tax in the amount of $ 13.3 billion, which is 1.2 percent. U.S. companies typically pay 21% income tax, which was reduced from 35% under the 2017 Tax and Jobs Reduction Act.
In January, Bezos made $ 13.2 billion in about 15 minutes after Amazon stocks rose. Since the total value of real estate and land is $ 255 million, buying a property is less than two percent of the amount that Bezos earned in minutes.
