Jeff Bezos bought an apartment in New York: housing nearby immediately rose in price

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos spent $ 23 million on an apartment on 212 Fifth Ave. This is a pre-war building in NoMad, where he already owns more than $ 96 million in real estate - a three-story penthouse and two apartments below it. The publication told about the new purchase New York Post.

Bezos is suing NASA this week over a $ 2,9 billion lunar landing contract. The contract was handed over to his rival, SpaceX Elon Musk. Giving one company such a massive contract to get astronauts to the moon gives one company "irresistible leverage," Bezos said.

In terms of Earth, Bezos' new apartment adds 386 square meters to his property.

The apartment has four bedrooms and four bathrooms. There are also coffered ceilings and marble floors. The apartment has large windows with stunning views of the World Trade Center and Madison Square Park.

Bezos' neighbors include Texas billionaire Ed Bass and ESPN host Mike Greenberg. Also, Charles and Seryl Kushner became his neighbors. They bought three apartments in the house for their grandchildren.

The residents of the building are very happy that the founder of Amazon has become their neighbor. All the more so as his presence helped raise the cost of housing in this 24-story Gothic-style building, which was built in 1912.

Infrastructure in the building includes a gym, yoga studio, spa treatment room, cinema.
