The world’s third-richest man is on the prowl for a third home in Miami — as well as an oceanfront estate in Palm Beach, Florida, sources tell Gimme Shelter.
Jeff Bezos recently bought two adjacent homes on the barrier island Indian Creek for a combined $147 million in two separate purchases.
The Amazon and Blue Origin billionaire will most likely tear both down and build a mega-compound, sources say, adding that he’s searching for a third Miami home to buy and live in until the Indian Creek compound is move-in ready.
Bezos and Lauren Sanchez were also spotted lunching in Palm Beach recently — once at Le Bilboquet on Worth Avenue with Hilfiger, Dee Ocleppo, Sylvester Stallone and Jennifer Flavin, where talk quickly turned to real estate.

We hear that one of the Palm Beach spots Bezos expressed interest in is Villa Artemis, which is not for sale.
However, the exquisite oceanfront property, at 656 N.County Road, is being quietly shopped to a few ultra 1-percenters for the whisper — and sky-high — ask of $300 million, sources add.
