The richest man in the world, founder and chief of Amazon Jeff Bezos, has recently indulged himself with a truly exceptional form of luxury. His steps led to Los Angeles, where he acquired the mansion of the famous movie magnate Jack Warner. He plans to share this place with his girlfriend, journalist Laura Sanchez. What all does his incredibly large residence hide? You will stare in amazement.
Simply put, like royalty! The house boasts an area of 1,200 square meters and is built in a beautiful Gregorian style. Needless to say, the head of the Warner Bros. studio put a lot of effort into the residence. He began to build it in the late 1920s and it took him ten years to complete his megalomaniacal dream to the tiniest detail. Part of the mansion is also a plot of land that roughly equals the size of 6 football fields with an area of 3.8 hectares.
Jeff's plot features two guest houses, a large garden, a tennis court, a golf course, and even a private service garage for luxury cars, and - stand by for this - a gas station. What's more, the mansion also boasts: eight bedrooms, a room designated solely for card games, a private cinema, a bar, plenty of bathrooms and common rooms, or Jack Warner's original study.
The icing on the cake is undoubtedly the original flooring from Europe, which Napoleon himself walked on, and it is believed that it even witnessed him proposing to his beloved Josephine. We must not forget to highlight the beauty of the interior either. The wooden tiles inside the house, for instance, date back to the 18th century. The glass chandelier from the time of King George III of England is a wonderful luxurious solitaire. A spectacular design element in the form of French wallpapers from the 19th century gives the house a unique charm. Would you like to live in a house like this? We certainly would!
The parties thrown in this house were attended by the greatest celebrities of the era. Physicist Albert Einstein, aircraft designer Howard Hughes, actor Jimmy Stewart, Errol Flynn and other Hollywood stars used to meet here.
Jeff didn't hesitate to pull a well-rounded amount of money out of his pocket to purchase his new mansion Warner Estate at a prestigious address in Beverly Hills, a neighbourhood full of celebrities. It cost him almost $ 4 billion. For some, that means dreamlike, unattainable wealth, for others it's petty cash. Consider that his assets are estimated at $ 131 billion, or $ 3 trillion, and it'll immediately be clear to you. He even broke the previous record in the price for a property in the LA area by defeating the wealthy media magnate Lachlan Murdoch, who'd bought his luxury mansion in Bel-Air for 3.4 billion crowns.
