Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, the world's wealthiest person, has purchased a Beverly Hills mansion for a record-breaking $165 million, a source familiar with the deal said on Wednesday.
The 9.4-acre property sold by Geffen to Bezos — in a deal first reported by the Wall Street Journal — boasts a stately Hollywood pedigree all its own. It is named for Jack Warner, the Warner Bros Studio chief who built the mansion in 1937.
Bezos, whose net worth was estimated by Forbes at $131 billion this year, owns properties around the world. It was not immediately clear if the Amazon CEO plans to make the Warner Estate his primary home. The Wall Street Journal said Bezos purchased three New York apartments earlier this year in a deal valued at about $80 million.
