Jeff Bezos sold his record-breaking $63M Seattle mansion — his Washington exit, in one data point
Editor's note: Bezos bought the Hunts Point mansion for $37.5M in 2019 and sold it this spring for $63M — then reinvested in a $237M Indian Creek, Florida compound. The underlying arithmetic: Washington's 9.9% capital-gains tax (effective 2022, upheld by the state Supreme Court 2023) plus the new 9.9% millionaires tax signed March 2026 for 2028. Florida has neither. This is state-tax arbitrage at the extreme end — the same mechanic that quietly reshapes retirement planning for anyone with concentrated equity in a high-tax state. Case study expanded in the Real Estate Investment Tax Strategies analysis. - #2 72 Bloomberg
