Jeff Bezos is so rich that the value of $1 to the average person is about $88,000 to the Amazon founder.
Needless to say, a $12 million home renovation in Washington, DC, isn't a budget crusher.
In 2016, Bezos paid $23 million in cash for the property in DC's exclusive Kalorama neighborhood, home to the Obamas as well as Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner.
While the property doesn't appear to offer much privacy in the front â it was the site of the Textile Museum for about a century â it includes two separate structures with nearly 27,000 square feet of living space and a spacious backyard.
The larger of the two homes, the Wood House, will be for entertaining guests, while the Pope House will serve as the family's living quarters when they're in town. The Bezos' home base is in Medina, Washington â a secluded, 5.3-acre compound on the shores of Lake Washington.
The renovation plans were approved in September and are now underway. Below, check out the floor plan of Bezos' future mansion in Washington, DC.
