So where does a man like Bezos rest his head at night?Although his company is headquartered in Seattle, Bezos owns six homes across the country and is the country's 28th largest landowner , according to the 2017 Land Report.
With Bezos' announcement that he's getting divorced from his wife of 25 years, MacKenzie, many will be wondering how the couple will split up their multiple properties. As Business Insider's Tanza Loudenback reported, in nine US states, including the Bezos' home state of Washington, everything acquired throughout the marriage from real estate to income is considered joint property.
From two neighboring Beverly Hills mansions to a sprawling estate in an exclusive Seattle suburb, here are the sixestates the Bezos clan calls home.

Bezos owns two homes in Medina 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 is an 8,300-square-foot, five-bedroom, four-bathroom home rumored to have cost $53 million. 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.

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 andWalter Matthau.

Apparently, the first Beverly Hills house did not fit Bezos' space requirements. In 2017, he bought a comparatively modest four-bedroom, 4,568-square-foot 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.

Bezos grew up spending summers on his grandparents' ranch outside of Cotulla, Texas and bought the 30,000-acre Figure 2 ranch to give his family the same experience. The U-shaped ranch house seen above is a remnant from the seller, who reportedly put "millions" into renovating it. Behind the home is a bunkhouse that sleeps 12.
The property is also the base for Bezos' private space company, Blue Origin.
Blue Origin made history in 2015 when it successfully launched and landed the reusable rocket, New Shepard. Its goal is to become a space tourism company, ferrying passengers up for weightless rides as soon as April 2019 .
