Jeff Bezos in front of Hunts Point, WA
  • Jeff Bezos bought four properties in and around an exclusive Seattle-area enclave in 2019.
  • Neighbors, though, say they've rarely seen Bezos, the planet's second-richest person.
  • "He acts like he owns" the neighborhood, one resident said.

Every spring, the residents of Hunts Point, a wealthy neighborhood outside of Seattle, come together for a day of service called Cleanup Day. Hedge-fund managers, tech titans, and high-powered attorneys join together to plant trees, weed gardens, and pick up trash. There's a continental breakfast, a barbecue lunch, and a bouncy house for the kids.
