Bezos & Sanchez Add Unusual Amenity to Their Home

eff Bezos has finally finished his Beverly Hills estate, a sprawling 10‑acre property that has been under construction since he purchased it in 2020 for $165 million from media mogul David Geffen, plus an additional $10 million lot. The deal ranks among the most expensive in Los Angeles history.

    Aerial shots now reveal a host of extravagant and quirky features. The most eye‑catching is a stainless‑steel pod that looks like a miniature Apollo 11 capsule, perched near a cactus garden. Design firm Timothy Oulton Studio claims the structure is a scale replica of the historic space capsule and can serve as a VIP lounge, a mobile office, or a dining pod. While the price is undisclosed, it is expected to be astronomical. Some media outlets speculate the pod functions as a space‑themed sauna, but the exact use remains unclear.

    Bezos’ fascination with space extends beyond the home. Earlier this year, his company Blue Origin launched Lauren Sanchez, his now‑wife, on an 11‑minute flight aboard a rocket, a moment that was part of their interstellar bachelorette celebration. The couple later married in Venice and installed the tallest fence in Beverly Hills.

    The main house, a Georgian‑style three‑story structure designed by Roland Coate, echoes Hollywood’s golden age. Its first resident in the 1930s was Warner Brothers co‑founder Jack Warner. After years of renovation, the estate is now free of scaffolding and construction debris.

    The grounds boast a luxurious pool with aquatic motifs—sea turtles, stingrays, and other marine life—surrounded by lush landscaping and accessed via a stone pathway. A large terrace overlooks the backyard, while a massive viewing deck with a banquet table provides a panoramic view of three pickleball courts. Bezos expanded the original single court into three, and the property also features a fire pit, a beach volleyball court, and extensive gardens.

    Overall, the estate blends classic architecture with futuristic flair, reflecting Bezos’ penchant for both luxury and space‑inspired design.
