Amazon titan and billionaire Jeff Bezos, Ivanka Trump, billionaire hedge fund king Ken Griffin, Tom Brady, Carl Icahn, Eddie Lampert and singer David Guetta are some of the people who live in this man-made barrier island. This is Florida’s hyper-exclusive Indian Creek Village, where a real estate property costs closer to $100 million and even some members of the richest 1 percent are not rich enough for this elite enclave. Miami-Dade County’s 'Billionaire Bunker ' has long been known for its incredibly deep-pocketed residents. But, its price has skyrocketed since the coronavirus pandemic.

Ivanka Trump spends $32 million
