4 of the 5 richest people have waterfront estates in Miami - I am so wishing for a gigantic hurricane to hit

Those estates and destroy them while they are there! They are enabling the 🍊🐖💩 and I want a karmic payback!

What do four of the world’s five richest people have in common?

They all have megamillion waterfront estates in Miami and Miami Beach — including a $170 million property for Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg that recently broke a record as the county’s most expensive home sale ever.

Google co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and Zuckerberg are the second-, third-, fourth- and fifth-wealthiest people in the world, respectively, according Forbes’ 2026 billionaire list, published this month.

All are recent transplants to the area, buying impressive waterfront homes within the last three years. All four seem to have prioritized privacy in their real estate buys, opting for gated communities like Indian Creek and Allison Island, both just off Miami Beach, or secluded parts of Coconut Grove.

Three of them — Page, Brin and Zuckerberg — have scooped up properties in the last few months alone. Bezos, who spent his teenage years in Miami, moved to the exclusive island community of Indian Creek in 2023. Together, the four men have an estimated net worth of around $940 billion.

And I so want Mar a lago to be in that path while the 🍊🐖💩 is there!

I have never heard a modern high rise building in Miami or other beach cities in Florida collapse during hurricanes.

I'm six miles from the land's end in the city of Delray Beach.

Given the rising seas, one day my little shack will be beach-front property.

I just want those big mansions hit on the waterfront by karma and the regular folk spared. Plus those mansions are waterfront are you?

Just sink into the sand while the owners are sheltering in place. A well organized drone attack could be an option, or maybe their robot slaves decide to take over and end up chasing them around their mansions until they collapse and the robot cast them into the sea and the sharks eat them.
