News dropped right before the July 4th holiday that Jeff Bezos is going to sell another $5 billion of Amazon stock. When you are the largest shareholder of one of the biggest company in the world, of course there’s an SEC filing or two required. Maybe he’s selling it because Amazon stock hit an all-time high, where it’s up over 30% already this year. Perhaps it’s because Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez’s wedding is coming up. Or maybe Jeff just wants to take a really epic trip. These are the places that Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez should spend some of those Amazon profits.
The Brando
Location: French Polynesia
Buyout Cost: The Brando costs round $500,000 to buyout for 5 nights
If you’re into luxury travel, The Brando is like a rite of passage. A private island in a remote part of French Polynesia, Jeff Bezos can take some of that Amazon stock and buyout all of the Brando. That’s what his wife’s close friend Kim Kardashian did when she turned 40. However it takes a bit of effort to get out there, so a 5-day buyout seems about right. But you can be rest assured it still won’t make a dent in the $5 billion Jeff Bezos has to spend.
Nihi Sumba
Location: Indonesia
Buyout Cost: Nihi Sumba costs pproximately $1 million for a month long stay
Much less known, and equally compelling is the island of Nihi Sumba in Indonesia. A helicopter ride away from Bali, the future Mrs. Bezos could do a couple of runs to get all their guests to this private island.
Nihi Sumba is the brainchild of Chris Burch, of clothing designer Tory Burch. As his next move after leaving the company, his goal was create a life-changing resort. So Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez can make a little more of a dent in the sale of their Amazon stock by renting Nihi Sumba for a month. If they’re feeling especially ambitious, they can sail their yacht around the world and pull right up front of this private island.
Banwa Private Island
Location: The Philippines
Buyout Cost: Banwa costs up to $110,000/night to buyout exclusively
Brand new to the luxury private island scene is Banwa, located in the Palawan Islands of the Philippines. The arrival of Banwa means that Amanpulo has some competition for the most luxurious island in the region.When Jeff Bezos sells his Amazon stock he can treat a whole host of family and friends to a unique vacation. Banwa rooms are modern in aesthetic and the resort is ready to host a party for the Bezos entourage.
Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc
Location: Antibes, France
Buyout Cost: Around $1.5 million in April or September to October for a 2 night stay. Anytime in between is priceless.
Maybe one of the biggest dents Jeff Bezos could make in his stock sale of Amazon would be to rent out the entire Hotel du Cap. Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez are big fans of the Mediterranean where they’re living on their boat this summer. They could make it an endless summer and rent out the entire Hotel du Cap for two days for around a cool $1.5 million. Or just go for it and make a week of it with their friends and family and do a surprise wedding this year.
