What island in Florida do billionaires live on?

Indian Creek, a small, exclusive island in Miami with only a limited number of homes, is also known as the Billionaire Bunker due to its residents' extraordinary wealth and notoriety.



The most exclusive island in Florida for the ultra-wealthy is Indian Creek Village, often referred to as the "Billionaire Bunker." Located in Miami-Dade County, this 300-acre man-made island features just 41 residential home sites, all facing the water, surrounding a private 18-hole golf course. As of 2026, the island’s residents include Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, football legend Tom Brady, and billionaire investor Carl Icahn. The island is so private that it has its own professional police force that patrols the single entrance bridge and the surrounding waters 24/7. Access is strictly limited to residents and invited guests, and the combined net worth of the inhabitants is estimated to exceed the GDP of many small nations. Other notable "billionaire islands" in Florida include Star Island in Miami Beach and the ultra-private Fisher Island, which is accessible only by ferry or private yacht.
