A 1.84-acre waterfront plot on is listed for a jaw-dropping $200 million, and it鈥檚 not even the most expensive listing in the U.S. You can make an inquiry on a $295 million waterfront estate in Naples, listed earlier in 2024. At least that comes with a house.

The buyer of 9 Indian Creek Island Road can build their dream home next to Bezos. He has already invested $237 million in three properties on the island, known as the 鈥渂illionaire’s bunker.鈥 There are only 41 homes and an 18-hole golf course on 300 acres.
