Breaking News: Jeff Bezos ‘Acts Like He Owns’ The Elite Neighborhood He Lives In, But Residents Say He’s ‘Not Much Of A Neighbor’…see more
What To Know: Bezos is a resident of Hunts Point, a wealthy neighborhood just outside of Seattle.
He purchased a $37.5 million property in the neighborhood in 2019, as well as three other nearby homes for his staff, according to a Business Insider report. Every year, residents of Hunts Point gather to plant trees, pull weeds and pick up trash around the neighborhood, but Bezos never shows up.
“I’ve seen a billionaire pick up trash on Cleanup Day. Not Jeff Bezos,” one resident reportedly told Insider. Less than 400 people call Hunts Point home, but the neighborhood is filled with multiple billionaires and other members of the business elite.
Former Microsoft Corp MSFT CEO Steve Ballmer and Costco Wholesale Corporation COST co-founder James Sinegal are among the residents of Hunts Point.
