Politics, discos, private islands: Billionaires spent big in 2024

Salon  

By many measures, 2024 was a good year for the ultra wealthy. The world’s 10 richest people — including Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg — saw their collective wealth increase by $64 billion following the reelection of former President Donald Trump. Related CEOs who lose pay plans are still super rich Musk's $277M election, $35M Texas compound If Elon Musk, the world’s richest person with a net worth of $455 billion, didn't buy the 2024 election then he certainly splurged on it. Bezos bought a $90M Miami bunker Jeff Bezos, worth an estimated $246 billion, paid $90 million for a six-bedroom home in April in Indian Creek, a 300-acre man-made island near Miami known as “Billionaire Bunker.” Bezos already spent $147 million for two other mansions in Indian Creek, and Bloomberg reports that Bezos plans to live in the $90 million home while he demolishes the other houses he bought, citing a person with knowledge of the deal. Larry Ellison, co-founder of Oracle, paid at least $277.3 million to buy Eau Palm Beach Resort & Spa — a five-star hotel and resort — in a wealthy town south of Palm Beach, Fla. That was Ellison’s second real estate deal in the small town of Manalapan; in 2022, he spent $173 million on another compound on the island, representing the largest residential real estate sale in Florida history.
