Read previewLeo Kryss sold Jeff Bezos a $79 million Miami mansion.
Kryss, the cofounder of Brazilian toy company Tectoy, had listed his seven-bedroom mansion on Indian Creek Island, Miami, for $85 million in May 2023, Business Insider previously reported.
After Kryss sold his mansion for $79 million — $6 million below its list price — he learned that the buyer was, in fact, connected to Bezos.
Kryss is suing Douglas Elliman, which received a commission of over $3 million for handling the property sale.
Bezos owns three properties on the island, with the latest purchased in April for $90 million.
