The world’s third-richest man is on the prowl for a third home in Miami — as well as an oceanfront estate in Palm Beach, Florida, sources tell Gimme Shelter. Jeff Bezos recently bought two adjacent homes on the barrier island Indian Creek for a combined $147 million in two separate purchases. The Amazon and Blue Origin billionaire will most likely tear both down and build a mega-compound, sources say, adding that he’s searching for a third Miami home to buy and live in until the Indian Creek compound is move-in ready. Bezos and Lauren Sanchez were also spotted lunching in Palm Beach recently — once at Le Bilboquet on Worth Avenue with Hilfiger, Dee Ocleppo,...

A pair of battered tin bungalows in a South Wales mining village are up for grabs at a bargain price of just £1 for the both of them. The two rundown homes made of brick-coloured corrugated sheets, featuring large bay windows, in Crumlin near Blackwood in Gwent, can effectively be bought for 50 pence each. The tattered, terraced structures are said to make a perfect 'AirBnB-type' rental for holidaymakers, following renovation of the crumbling properties which are in a 'poor state of repair' according to the listing. The first bungalow is believed to have an entrance, two bedrooms, a lounge, kitchen and toilet, while the second bargain bungalow appears to have one bedroom, a lounge...

This French Quarter mansion in New Orleans, once home to Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, is heading to the auction block.

A house with an incredible eight bedrooms is set to go on the market for the bargain starting price of £40,000. The large home, which was formerly used as a guest house, is located in Blackpool on Palatine Road, just a short eight-minute walk from the iconic pier. The home, set to go under the hammer with Auction House Lincolnshire, is admittedly in need of some TCL. But a little (okay, a lot) of elbow grease and DIY could return this place it its former glory. (The exterior (Picture: Jam Press/Auction House Lincolns) Once known as Chadsley Guest House, the home boasts a very large amount of space and is set across a whopping three floors. Inside, the...
