Miami’s Indian Creek Island, overlooking Biscayne Bay, is famous as the ‘Billionaire Bunker’ thanks to its mega-rich residents, who are a mix of celebrities and business moguls.
The island is only accessible via a single guarded bridge and is protected by a private police force that patrols the community 24 hours a day on foot, in the sky and on land.
Residents enjoy access to an exclusive country club and a private 18-hole golf course, while Miami’s South Beach is just eight miles away.
With a median home price of $29.5 million and around 40 residents, Indian Creek has been called “the most exclusive township in the world.”

Bezos owns several properties on Indian Creek Island, along with retired NFL star Tom Brady and former first daughter Ivanka Trump.
The privately owned residential enclave has been a magnet for billionaires, celebrities and power couples thanks to its privacy and security.
The area has previously attracted the likes of Jay-Z and Beyoncé, as well as current resident investors Carl Icahn and Jared Kushner.
Kushner and his former first daughter Ivanka Trump bought their home for $24 million in April 2021 and spent more than two years renovating it.
Carl Icahn reportedly bought his mansion in 1997 for $7.5 million, while Colombian banker Jaime Gilinski collected five properties to build a compound for his family.
Football star Tom Brady and his supermodel, now ex-wife, Gisele Bündchen, were also building a “green mansion” in the community before their split.
Despite separating, the former power couple live a stone’s throw from each other.
The initial 2019 deal was one of the most expensive real estate transactions in Manhattan that year. Shown above are two shots of the interior of the connected apartments.
Bezos purchased several apartments along New York’s Fifth Avenue to create a mega mansion to the tune of $120 million.

In 2022, the billionaire added to his collection a private property in Hawaii that spans 14 acres and is surrounded by dormant lava fields.
The three-building property, situated on picturesque La Perouse Bay on Valley Isle in Maui, Hawaii, cost the former Amazon an estimated $78 million.
The previous year he added a luxurious Manhattan apartment to the series of properties he already owned on New York City’s luxurious Fifth Avenue.
The businessman bought five properties in three years to form a de facto mega mansion.
While in 2016, Bezos spent $23 million on a former textile museum in the exclusive Kalorama neighborhood of Washington, DC.
He also purchased a $5 million property across the street that many speculated was for privacy reasons as it had a direct line of sight to the former museum property.
