Amazon founder Jeff Bezos purchased a new home in Florida’s “Billionaire Bunker” and has reportedly spent around $68 million on bagging the property. 

The mega-mansion was purchased by the 59-year-old founder on June 27, according to The Real Deal. 

Bezos and his fiancée, former news anchor and pilot Lauren Sánchez, had reportedly been looking for a new or renovated mansion in the Miami area.
