Bezos now owns $119 million in property investment in a single building after purchasing the new apartment facing New York's Madison Square Park.
Jeff Bezos, one of the world's wealthiest men and the founder of Amazon and Blue Origin, paid $23 million for a 4,155-square-foot condominium inside 212 Fifth Avenue, an iconic skyscraper in the Flatiron district where he owns four other properties.
According to a number of US news websites, the condo was sold to a holding company, Gramercy Hudson LLC. While Bezos isn't identified in the agreement, it is represented by Seattle-based law firm Perkins Coie, which has Amazon as a client.
The property records filed with the city reportedly show that the deal was agreed to at the end of July and finalized earlier this month.
The lavish four-bedroom, four-bathroom apartment includes marble flooring and huge windows, along with views of the World Trade Centre and Madison Square Park.
According to the property's website, the building's facilities include a health club, a golf simulator, a game room, and a movie-screening space.

According to the New York Post, Bezos' ultimate ambition is to merge the apartments into one villa. Bezos already owns real estate in 212 Fifth Avenue worth $96 million, including a penthouse unit, two units below it, and a $16 million condo he purchased in April 2020.
Bezos previously paid $23 million for the former Textile Museum in Washington, DC, and has four condominiums in a building on Manhattan's Upper West Side with views of Central Park. He also has properties in Seattle, Texas and California.
The business tycoon is worth $189 billion, ranking him the world's richest person. He resigned as CEO of Amazon in July. Bezos has created record-breaking real estate investments after his split from MacKenzie Scott in 2019.
