Google co-founder Larry Page has made a massive real estate move, spending $173.4 million on two ultra-luxury waterfront estates in Miami’s exclusive Coconut Grove neighborhood in late December and early January. The purchases appear to solidify his exit from California ahead of a proposed billionaire tax that could take effect this year.

Page, whose net worth stands at approximately $276 billion, is now the second-richest person in the world. His real estate acquisitions come as multiple California billionaires are relocating to tax-friendly Florida. Below is an inside look into his two new mansions.

Also here are the most unbelievable mansions in America.

The Banyan Ridge Estate

  • Purchase price: $101.5 Million

Page’s first purchase was the historic Banyan Ridge compound, a 4.5-acre waterfront property on Biscayne Bay that he acquired for $101.5 million in December, according to The Wall Street Journal. The estate had been listed with an asking price of $135 million.

The property originally belonged to the late restaurateur Jonathan Lewis, who assembled 10 separate parcels of land in the 1980s to create the compound, according to previous Fox Business reporting.

The estate features meditation gardens, multiple secluded courtyards, expansive terraces, an infinity-edge pool and a private boathouse, according to The Richest. The compound is structured as a gated enclave of eight separate but interconnected structures.

Page’s $101.5 million purchase was the fourth most expensive home sale in the U.S. in 2025, according to Redfin.

Casa Bahia

  • Purchase price: $71.9 Million

Just days after closing on Banyan Ridge, Page paid $71.9 million on January 5 for a second Coconut Grove estate less than a mile away in an off-market deal, according to the same The Wall Street Journal article. He purchased the property from heiress Sloan Lindemann Barnett and her husband Roger Barnett, CEO of health-supplement company Shaklee.

Known as “Casa Bahia,” the contemporary mansion spans approximately 17,000 square feet with seven bedrooms, according to Miami Condo Investments. Built around 2015, the property sits on a corner lot with water frontage on two sides, offering direct access to Biscayne Bay.

The home features modern architectural design defined by flat geometry and surrounded by tropical vegetation. It’s described in original marketing materials as “a modernist dwelling that appears to hover over the surrounding greenery and water, creating an immersive indoor-outdoor experience,” according to The Richest.

The property nearly doubled in value in less than five years under the Barnetts’ ownership, according to Fortune.
