Luxury Real Estate

JEFF BEZOS

Part city mouse, part country mouse, the founder of Amazon has a pretty impressive real estate spread estimated at $500 million in assets. With a handful of sprawling estates in Beverly Hills, a few apartments in New York City, 2 in Washington, D.C., and even a 30,000-acre ranch in Texas, Bezos has a house for every season. The Texas ranch is primarily used for his company, Blue Origin, which utilizes reusable rockets to eventually sustain our planet by working in space. You can bid to be one of the first passengers to orbit earth with Benzo himself for a cool $2.8 million. Evidently, you haven’t truly arrived until you own a space exploration company. Sounds like serious rocket envy. Back to earth with arguably the most elaborate piece of real estate belonging to Bezos, a record-breaking Los Angeles compound valued at over $175 million. The home was originally built in 1937 for Jack Warner (Warner Bros.) 

Get lost in this 13,600 square foot menagerie of indulgence. This was said to be the most expensive home ever purchased in the history of the state of California. 



Addison Rae

She may not be avid in space exploration, but her Tik Tok success has skyrocketed to 80.7 million followers. Admittedly, I had to ask my 14-year-old daughter who Addison Rae was, as she is a namesake in most households with teenagers. If you’re not familiar with this social media queen, she started by posting dance videos on the social media platform and now has grown a devout following across all social media channels. While most 20-year-old girls are either living in a college dorm or with their parents, Addison Rae’s $3 million home is a major shift from her humble beginnings in Baton Rouge, Alabama. “Go west, young (wo)man!” Like most up-and-coming bright young starlets, she packed her bags and moved closer to the bright lights. But hey, what’s a $3 million mansion when you’re bringing home $5 million each year for 60-second vids? I would be dancing too. 

LOGAN PAUL

When he’s not dissing his brother or fighting undefeated boxers like Floyd Mayweather, Logan Paul is making YouTube videos in his posh, $6.6 million home in Encino, California. He doesn’t strike me as the “modern farmhouse” type, but the 5 bed, 7 bath, 9k square foot property is described as such. Multiple fireplaces, steel stairwell, marble kitchen, and a gray color scheme, Paul’s house has adult vibes in a home where Logan may soon be setting things on fire as his past videos predict. So just who is this Logan Paul, you may be asking if you’re not one of his 23.2 million subscribers on YouTube or 20.3 million followers on Instagram. Logan began his social media enterprise on Vine, the now-defunct Twitter platform for short videos that he parlayed into his YouTube empire. His larger-than-life personality has captured the attention of millions of people across the world known intimately as “The Logang.” He had big aspirations as a young kid from West Lake, Ohio. His little brother Jake was a former Disney star who joined his brother to make the cross country trek to you guessed it, Los Angeles to further their internet celebrity status and expand the brothers. Though there seems to be a dichotomy between the Brothers Paul and serious sibling rivalry, both have amassed their own respective loyal fan base. Logan recently launched his own line of athletic merch, which is inspired by his boxing career. You can score one of his signature hoodies for a mere $145. That’s a knockout price for a 24-year-old kid from the Midwest. Logan is famous for making his audience laugh so I know he is laughing all the way to the bank.
