Florida couple downsizes to a $17.25M penthouse after selling their home to Jeff Bezos for $87M

This couple sold their house for $87 million and then downsized — to a $17.25 million penthouse.

Retired banker Javier Holtz and his spouse, Andria, sold their Indian Creek, Florida, home to Amazon titan Jeff Bezos, one of the world’s richest people. Then they went on a search for something smaller.

In this case, that meant buying a $15.75 million penthouse with its own pool and throwing in an additional $1.5 million or so for the furniture. The sale was first reported by the Real Deal.

Javier, the former chairman and CEO of Marquis Bank, and Andria sold their seven-bedroom, seven-bath residence at 28 Indian Creek Island to Bezos in April after buying it for $2.5 million in 1998, sources told Gimme Shelter.

It’s Bezos’s third home purchase in the gated community, bringing his total investment in properties on the ritzy island enclave to $234 million.

Neighbors include Mike Piazza, the All-Star former New York Mets catcher and Hall of Famer, and supermodel Cindy Crawford and her husband Rande Gerber.
