Amazon titan Jeff Bezos has put the final touches on his marital home.
New aerial photos reveal the luxurious and somewhat oddball amenities dotting the move-in ready Beverly Hills estate, the Daily Mail reported. Among them, something that seems like it fell onto the grounds from the heavens.
The mega-mansion property has been under construction since Bezos snagged the property in 2020 from media mogul David Geffen. Five years on, the $165 million sale (later bolstered by an additional $10 million lot) still numbers among the priciest real estate transactions in Los Angeles history.
In the interim, Bezos got engaged, sent his fiancée Lauren Sanchez into space, got hitched in Venice and installed the tallest fence in Beverly Hills.
The 10-acre estate is made up of those two plots, now linked by a raised bridge. At the property’s heart is a Georgian-style, three-story main house. The old-world estate, designed by American architect Roland Coate, has deep ties to Hollywood’s golden age. Its first inhabitant in the 1930s was Jack Warner, the co-founder of Warner Brothers.
Near the main house, a large pool is access by a stone pathway. Bezos brought Miami flair to the pool’s design, decorating its base with vivid images of aquatic creatures.
Elsewhere, a massive viewing deck with a banquet table overlooks three huge pickleball courts. Visitors can also enjoy the grounds’ gardens, a fire pit and a beach volleyball court.
The completed renovations to the property come just six months after Bezos and Sanchez tied the knot.
The flashy pair celebrated their upcoming nuptials with an interstellar bachelorette party — in which Sanchez blasted off on an 11-minute space flight aboard a Blue Origin rocket, with gal pals Gayle King and Katy Perry among her all-female crew.
The billionaire pair’s out-of-this-world taste extended to furnishing their property, it appears. A futuristic, UFO-like building located near the cactus garden is easily among their most striking home additions.
The shiny installation resembles an Apollo space capsule, but its contents are unclear. Media reports speculate that the alien object is actually a sauna. The structure bares a striking resemblance to a made-to-order, stainless steel statement piece designed by Timothy Oulton Studio, which could not be reached for comment by press time.
The luxe pod was designed as a scale replica of NASA’s Apollo 11 space capsule, according to the studio’s website, adaptable as “a private VIP seating lounge to a workspace meeting capsule or dining pod.”
The price for one of these Apollo pieces is not advertised, but we can assume it’s astronomical.
