Ivanka and Jared Kushner to buy Julio Iglesias' $30 million plot on Florida's 'Billionaire Bunker'

[sandensea]

It’s been called the “Billionaire Bunker” and one of the “wealthiest, private, most secure communities in Miami Beach and the world”.

Indian Creek is a village of just 42 people on a tiny private island in Miami’s Biscayne Bay.

Its “Billionaire Bunker” nickname stems from its wildly wealthy and high-profile residents - including billionaire investor Carl Icahn, supermodel Adriana Lima, Spanish singer Julio Iglesias, former Sears CEO Eddie Lampert and car-dealership tycoon Norman Braman.

And now, according to a Page Six report, the island may be getting a new pair of ultra-wealthy and ultra-famous residents: Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner.

The couple are said to have dropped over US$30 million on a waterfront lot on the exclusive island after Iglesias put it up for sale earlier this year.

The 1.8-acre lot at 4 Indian Creek Island Rd, in Indian Creek Village, FL - recently closed on by Jared and Ivanka Kushner from Spanish crooner Julio Iglesias for a reported $30 million.

Iglesias had purchased the lot in 2014 for $21.6 million - but never had a home built on the site.

3. Oh, and Tom, dimple boy, Brady and his wife are moving there.

He was the quarterback that won 6 Super Bowls for the Patriots and is now with Tampa Buccaneers.

Tom Brady is fully embracing life as a Florida Man.

The Buccaneers quarterback and his wife, Gisele Bündchen, are new owners of a property on Indian Creek Island — also known as “billionaire’s bunker” — Page Six reported Thursday. And the former six-time Patriots Super Bowl champion made it clear during his weekly media availability that he won’t be making New England home again anytime soon given how much he’s enjoying the climate in his new state.

“I was a native Californian for a long time in my life and went away from it for about 25 years. You won’t catch me dead living in the Northeast anymore,” Brady told reporters Thursday. “I’m loving the warm weather and it’s been a great feeling.”

6. At least he earned his loot

These two, as you know, are Latin America-style grifters - which means they should fit in perfectly in the Miami area.

4. I'm guessing they plan to build and eyesore there.

Or are they going to claim that as their residence as is so she can run for Rubio's seat without building anything?

5. A castle fit for a swamp creature, no doubt

7. There goes the neighborhood

8. Kleptocrat Key

The day Eddie "the lamprey" Lampert moved in - with all that money he sucked out of Sears, that alone was a bad enough sign.

They still have several empty lots available for Colombian narcos, hedge fund launderers, and other assorted swamp creatures.

Then again, with the rise in sea levels...

13. you beat me to it lol

9. once we took a day trip around "star island" is that close to this one?

they air condition their back yards

[sandensea]

11. This would be about 7 miles north of Star Island

Personally, I can't imagine why anyone - having the means to really choose - would opt for such an unhealthy climate.

The fact that they feel the need to air-condition even their back yards is proof that they don't really enjoy it either - and who could! (except perhaps in winter, which as you know is lovely there).

16. The Beautiful People wouldn't be caught dead in Florida in summer

Palm Beach is primarily a winter residence, as it was for the Kennedys. They'd spend Thanksgiving on Cape Cod, then move down to their Palm Beach house until Easter, when they'd head back north. Of course the Trumps are of a different lot. Tres Gauche.

17. I don't doubt it.

10. A nice storm surge, maybe?

[sandensea]

12. It would be poetic justice, wouldn't it.

That swamp creatures who lined their pockets while her father was busy undermining climate change policy at every turn, who have to flee their mansion after it flooded - preferably right after house-warming.

I can just picture them:

"Jared! Get the baby!"

"Eww! And get my Loubutins wet? No way!"

"Well, get the Monet at least!"

"Awmygosh! Claude - here I come!!"

14. that will fetch a pretty penny at the public tax auction after they both go to prison
