Bezos buys largest house in DC

Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos is now the owner of the largest home in Washington, D.C., The Washington Post reported Thursday, revealing that the billionaire business tycoon purchased the 27,000-square-foot former Textile Museum in D.C.’s upscale Kalorama neighborhood.

The Cherry Revocable Trust bought the building in October for $23 million. But it wasn’t until Thursday that it was revealed that the Amazon founder and CEO was the property’s owner. Plans to renovate the building are still under review by the Advisory Neighborhood Commission.

Rather, the home is expected to be a place for Bezos and his family to stay during trips to Washington, the Post reports.

In Kalorama, Bezos, his wife and two children will be joined by some high-profile neighbors, including outgoing President and first lady Barack and Michelle Obama, and President-elect Donald Trump’s daughter Ivanka Trump and her husband, Jared Kushner, who will serve as an adviser to his father-in-law.
