Jeff Bezos is the world’s fifth-richest man, according to Forbes, with a net worth of $45.2 billion. It’s no surprise then that he just bought the largest home in Washington, D.C. for $23 million cash.

The property, D.C.’s Textile Museum, will be converted into a single-family home to be used by Bezos and his family, according to Realtor.com. With over 27,000 square feet of living space, the mansion should be a suitable second home for the Bezos family, who currently make the Seattle area their primary place of residence. Not too shabby!
