Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos, the richest person in the world, recently acquired Warner Estate from media mogul David Geffen. The 9.4-acre (38,000 m2) residence was built in the 1930s for Jack Warner, co-founder and president of Warner Brothers Studios. The luxury Beverly Hills villa includes guest houses, a tennis court, and even its own nine-hole golf course. It has been described as the ‘archetypal studio magnate’s estate’ and ‘the last intact estate of the golden age of Hollywood in Beverly Hills.’ David Geffen bought it in 1990 for US$ 47.5 million, which was a record price for a single-family home at the time. Lachlan Murdoch, son of Rupert Murdoch, made a similar deal when he paid US$ 150 million for the Chartwell Estate in the suburb of Bel Air, which is also known as the “Beverly Hillbillies Mansion”.
