It's safe to say that Jeff Bezos, who announced today that he and wife MacKenzie are filing for divorce, has cash to burn. He's worth roughly $137 billion and owns 16% of the Amazon empire.

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.

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.

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.
