Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos buys new house for $23 million

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos will have a place to hang his hat in the US capital, with the purchase of what may be the city’s largest private residence, for $23 million.

The Bezos-owned Washington Post reported Thursday that the tech billionaire was behind the anonymous purchase of the former Textile Museum, a structure of 27,000 square feet (2,500 square meters) with a 7,000 square foot formal garden.
