Read Original Source
Amazon founder Jeff Bezos injected some serious cash into Seattle's real estate market in 2019. On the heels of his high-profile divorce announcement, Bezos went on a $45 million homebuying bonanza — snatching up not one, not two, but four previously unreported properties in the ultra-exclusive Hunts Point enclave.
