Why is Jeff Bezos moving to Miami?

The Amazon CEO, named Time magazine's Person of the Year in 1999, said he is moving to Miami to be closer to his parents and the Cape Canaveral operations of Blue Origin, his space exploration company.                                                                       The billionaire also wrote he and his partner of more than four years, Lauren Sanchez, "love Miami."

The pair began dating in 2019 after Bezo split from his ex-wife, author Mackenzie Scott. The former couple share one son.

As of Thursday, Bezo's estimated net worth was $161 billion, according to Bloomberg. His third-place ranking sat just shy of Bernaurd Arnault ($163 million) and Elon Musk, who led the pack with a net worth of $208 billion.
