People are stunned after a video reveals how Jeff Bezos gets furniture delivered to his $80 million penthouse.
The Amazon founder had built up quite a substantial portfolio of real estate over the years.
Unlike Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who became the world's first trillionaire to live in a modest prefab home for less than $50,000 that he rents from SpaceX, Bezos splashes his cash on properties across the East and West coasts.
In 2023, Bezos announced he was relocating permanently to Miami after spending three decades in Seattle.

Since then, the Blue Origin founder picked up several properties on Miami’s Indian Creek Island, which is worth an estimated $237 million and has been nicknamed 'Billionaire Bunker.'
But that's just one part of his property empire.

Bezos also owns homes in California, Washington, D.C., Maui and Texas. His Texas estate doubles as the headquarters for his aerospace company, Blue Origin, which was launched in 2000.
But viewers were shocked to get a glimpse into the billionaire's way of doing home delivery.
TikToker Thompson Ferrier shared an inside look at what it takes to move furniture into one of Bezos’ Manhattan penthouses.
The property in question is a trio of adjoining apartments overlooking Madison Square Park in Manhattan that Bezos spent a whopping $80 million on in 2019. The extravagant purchase included a three-floor, 10,000-square-foot penthouse complete with a grand ballroom, a library and a marble and glass fireplace.

Additionally, there is a seven-room main suite, a three-bedroom unit below that with marble countertops and a connected four-bedroom apartment with panoramic views.
"you wanna see how Jeff Bezos delivers his furniture?" Ferrier begins his video, then turns the camera to reveal a giant crane towering over the streets of New York City. "Let me show you."
The TikTok shows the crane hoisting up a piece of furniture up to the top floors of Bezos' apartment building in central Manhattan.

Ferrier sarcastically commented on the fact that this delivery process is pretty 'standard,' whilst highlighting around '40 movers, police escorts' and 'street closures' in the area.
Naturally, TikTok users poured in to poke fun at the billionaire's lavish approach to everyday tasks.
"Amazon prime delivery, billionaire subscription," one TikTok user wrote.
"Meanwhile me living in nyc and ordering Amazon they leave my delivery in the street," another added.

Someone else joked: "Totally relatable. Did this 2 weeks ago". Others shared more positive remarks, commenting: "At least he’s providing jobs for all those people."
