Amazon founder Jeff Bezos announced on Thursday that he is departing Seattle for Miami.
“Seattle has been my home since 1994 when I started Amazon out of my garage. That’s my dad behind the camera in this video, touring Amazon’s first “office.” My parents have always been my biggest supporters. They recently moved back to Miami, the place we lived when I was younger (Miami Palmetto High class of ’82 — GO Panthers!)” Bezos wrote on Instagram.
He shared that his parents decided to move to Miami, and that he wanted to remain physically close to them. He also added that his girlfriend Lauren Sanchez loves the city and that some of his business operations are moving into southern Florida.
“I want to be close to my parents, and Lauren and I love Miami. Also, Blue Origin’s operations are increasingly shifting to Cape Canaveral. For all that, I’m planning to return to Miami, leaving the Pacific Northwest,” he added.
Blue Origin is an aerospace manufacturer and space technologies company that makes rocket engines for spacecraft and satellites. The company says that it wants to create reusable rockets to meet the needs of both defense and commercial customers.
“I’ve lived in Seattle longer than I’ve lived anywhere else and have so many amazing memories here. As exciting as the move is, it’s an emotional decision for me. Seattle, you will always have a piece of my heart,” he concluded.
Bezos joins the growing number of wealthy individuals to leave liberal enclaves in favor of red states. Hedge fund billionaire Ken Griffin announced that he would depart Chicago for Miami, citing violent crime rates.

Thank you Lord…..Texas
Why pay state income tax when you can leave a democrat hellhole AND not pay income tax AND not step in poop on your sidewalks? And not live in a high crime war zone? Bezos has made the right decision for himself and his employees.
“Seattle, you will always have a piece of my heart,” he concluded.”
Lucky he got out of that septic tank before some filth got an actual piece of his heart.
A winner indeed taxes is the main issue.
More new Florida neighbors from liberal land.
Sigh. A ponygirl can dream…
Yeah, FL taxes had NOTHING to do with it!
Wants to be near parents and old ‘haunts’ from his younger days. No, not true that he wants the no-income tax thing....nope, not at all.
I thought South Florida was already destroyed.
Washington State doesn’t have personal or corporate income tax.
Dedantis should ban him from moving- after all California banned their gov officials from going to florida i beleive- ban bozos and state that Florida is just h9noring the desire of the state of California
What is bill gates going to do without his next door neighbor and best bud ?
Here’s a great song to listen to while you’re dreamin’.

Interesting she “only” got 25% of his Amazon stock, and no voting rights.
Personally, I would have demanded ownership of the Washington Post. I would love to turn that thing into the MAGA Daily.

What emotion?.... why it’s Greed of course. A complete lying a-hole and perv to boot. Like it or not with or without his dough- FL is a very different place. A Southern place at its roots. This clown’s history follows him, and his photo record. Why not move to New Zealand like all the rest?
