Take a tour of Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos' 5 giant homes and thousands of acres of land across the US
It's safe to say that Jeff Bezos, founder and CEO of Amazon, has cash to burn. He's worth roughly $84 billion and owns 17% of the Amazon empire. So where does a man like Bezos rest his head at night? Although his company is headquartered in Seattle, Washington, Bezos own five homes across the country, and is the country's 25th largest landowner, according to the Land Report.
Here are the five estates the Bezos clan calls home:

In the same neighborhood as Bill Gates, Bezos owns two homes spanning 5.3 acres. According to the Wall Street Journal, he paid $10 million for the property in 1998. One home is a 20,600 square foot, five-bedroom, four-bathroom house, and the other a 8,300 square foot, five bedroom, four bathroom. Right on the shores of Lake Washington, the estate underwent a $28 million renovation in 2010 and boasts 310 feet of shoreline and a boathouse.

Beverly Hills, California
Bezos bought this Spanish style mansion in 2007 for $24.45 million. The seven-bedroom seven-bathroom home is advertised by Dream Homes Magazine as having a greenhouse, a sunken and lighted tennis court, a huge swimming pool, four fountains, and a six-car garage. The street is a hotspot for Hollywood stars, and is said to have been home to Jimmy Stewart, Donna Reed and Walter Matthau.

Apparently the first house did not fit Bezos' space requirements. This past July he bought a comparatively modest four bedroom, 4,568 home for $12.9 million right next door to his first house. As you can see in the above picture, Bezos' property dominates the mansion-filled block.
