Mostrecent U.S. Censusdata from 2020 put the median property value for Indian Creek homes at $2 million, while the population was estimated to be just 34 people.

And though the median income for Indian Creek residents was $101,250 in 2020, Bezos shouldn't have a problem keeping up with his neighbors.

As of Friday afternoon, Bezos'net worthwas an estimated $163 billion.
