Somebody call Ibram Kendi, cuz this looks like textbook gentrification right here!
Totally kidding, totally kidding. Sorry. Though this is quite the story: Billionaires are essentially taking over Indian Creek Island and nudging all the multimillionaires out.
The mega rich are forcing out millionaires as ‘billionaire bunker' island, Indian Creek in Miami, Florida, increasingly becomes a private enclave of the uber elite.
A local historian told Bloomberg that even wealthy people can no longer afford to live on the island because they are being priced out by people like Amazon's Jeff Bezos.
"Only the very wealthy, the billionaires can afford to live in Indian Creek now. Hundreds of millions aren't gonna cut it anymore," said Paul George.
Bezos already owns multiple properties on the island and is looking to buy three more, having bought two neighboring homes on the island for a total of nearly $150 million last year.
You gotta take a look at this island. It's like 80% golf course!
Looks like Tom Brady, Ivanka Trump, and Julio Iglasius won't be there much longer (just going by the numbers there).
The island's only access point is a guarded bridge, and believe it or not the entire piece of land is policed by a private police force — patrolled 24/7 from the ground as well as the sky.
If I'm a millionaire on that island being nudged out by the Bezoses of the world, I'll tell you right now: I'm getting as many rounds in at that golf course as humanly possible before my time comes. I'll find a new place eventually, but I'm gonna be unavailable for large portions of literally every single day as long as the sun's up.
Good luck out there, Indian Creek millionaires. You're gonna need it.
