He may no longer be the world\u2019s richest human, but Jeff Bezos<\/a> can cast those troubles adrift this winter \u2014 because he\u2019ll likely be putting down anchors in paradise! Yes, the Amazon overlord and his longtime partner Lauren Sanchez have joined the likes of other billionaires like Oprah, Mark Zuckerberg and Larry Ellison in acquiring a Hawaiian estate. The big buy was first reported by\u00a0Pacific Business News<\/a>.<\/p>\n

More specifically, the Sanchez-Bezos home of choice lies on the island of Maui.\u00a0Though the deal actually closed back in June, the exact sales price went unreported in records because the transfer was unusually complex, with Bezos buying out the holding company that owns the land rather than the land itself. But\u00a0local real estate sources say<\/a>\u00a0the amount rang in at somewhere around $78 million, which sounds very plausible considering this estate is much larger and vastly more private than a Maui house that\u00a0recently sold for $45 million\u00a0to a hedge fund-rich couple from Malibu, Calif. The Bezos sales price, if accurate, is a Maui record.<\/p>\n

And even by Hawaii standards, this oceanfront estate is isolated and remote. Located on the sparsely-populated southwestern side of Maui, the roughly 14-acre complex is nearly a world away from Kahului, the biggest city on Maui, and the island\u2019s major tourist traps. It\u2019s also about 12 miles south of Kihei, the nearest major city, and is surrounded by state parkland and rocky lava fields. No neighborhood trick-or-treaters here.<\/p>\n
