Whether a beachfront Florida estate or historic villa in Silicon Valley, here’s where the six wealthiest individuals in the U.S. choose to reside.
1. Elon Musk
Despite leading Forbes’s 2023 ranking as the richest person in America with $251 billion, Musk vowed to “own no home.” He sold off around $100 million worth of luxury properties and stated he lives in a modest home near SpaceX’s Boca Chica, Texas facility. Plans for a futuristic glass residence near Tesla’s Austin headquarters have been reported.
2. Jeff Bezos
Amazon’s founder, with a net worth of $161 billion, has a vast real estate portfolio. Recently, he spent over $100 million on Miami properties, including a $68 million home on Indian Creek and a $79 million neighboring property. His holdings include a $165 million Beverly Hills estate, a 14-acre Hawaiian retreat, New York penthouses, and 420,000 acres in Texas for Blue Origin.
3. Larry Ellison
Oracle’s co-founder, worth $158 billion, owns the most expensive home in Florida—a $173 million, 62,200-square-foot estate in Manalapan. He also owns significant properties in California, Rhode Island, and almost the entire Hawaiian island of Lanai.
4. Warren Buffett
The 93-year-old billionaire, valued at $121 billion, still resides in the Omaha home he purchased in 1958 for $31,500. He previously owned a Laguna Beach retreat, which he sold for $7.5 million in 2018.
5. Larry Page
Google’s co-founder, with $114 billion, owns multiple properties in Palo Alto, including the landmark Pedro de Lemos House. He also owns an eco-friendly home and previously lived in Fiji during the pandemic.
6. Bill Gates
The Microsoft co-founder, worth $111 billion, has an oceanfront home in Del Mar, California, and his primary residence in Medina, Washington—a 50,000-square-foot estate. He also owns farmland across the U.S. and a private island in Belize.
These billionaires’ real estate choices reflect their wealth, ranging from ultra-modern tech hubs to historic mansions and secluded islands.
