Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez will likely get into Indian Creek Country club — if they’re willing to work for it

Don’t call it a snub.

Page Six is told that Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez will likely be accepted into the ultra-exclusive Indian Creek Country Club eventually. But they won’t cut the line just because he happens to be the third richest person on earth.

The Wall Street Journal ran an article last week titled “The Rich and Famous Who Can’t Get Into Miami’s Most Exclusive Country Club,” revealing that Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez have not been accepted into the ultra-exclusive Florida spot.

“The old guard—many of them retirees—are mounting a last stand against what they often view as billionaire interlopers,” says the article, which also states “too much wealth or notoriety has become a deterrent, as wealthy new applicants arriving in Florida are learning.”

But our source tells us that the billionaire couple need not panic: they’ll likely get in, they just have to bide their time and put in the work.

Bezos and Sanchez own $234 million worth of real estate spread out over three properties on the island, located between Bal Harbor and Miami Beach and known as the Billionaire Bunker. He first bought in 2023.

The ritzy club takes members that live both on and off the elite isle, which is reportedly home to just 41 residences. The private, guarded and gated Indian Creek is known for privacy and security and even has its own police force, making it the perfect place for the top 1%.

The article notes that the Bezoses mingled with club members at a annual dock party in February, but we hear it will take much more than just one event to schmooze their way onto the club rolls.

“No one is going to make it easy because he is Jeff Bezos,” says a source. “You have to go to mixers. You don’t just move there and think you can get in. For anyone.”

The club is known for having a “slow process” for entry, though football legend Tom Brady — who Page Six exclusively reported bought on the island with then wife, model Gisele Bundchen, in 2020 — was immediately accepted. (Bundchen purchased an $11.5 million home near her ex in 2022.)

“There aren’t that many golf clubs [in Miami] and there is huge demand,” says the source. “It’s very hard to get into any of them, but Indian Creek is the hardest.” 

A source tells us that the Amazon big and his pilot wife just need to get to know the famously private members of their community. Page Six previously reported neighbors don’t do “much spontaneous socializing” — meaning the couple will have to put in effort.

“People need to know them,” says the source.

Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner — who Page Six exclusively reported bought a $30 million-plus lot of land in 2020 and have since added more property — have so far not been able to secure membership.

A source told Page Six on January 13, 2021 that the political couple need not apply.

“It only takes one member to object against any new member, and many members are objecting, particularly after the events at the Capitol on Jan. 6,” said a source at the time, referencing the 2021 insurrection. “Jared and Ivanka can lunch with their fellow ‘patriots’ at Mar-a-Lago.”

The WSJ reported that the couple has been continuing efforts to secure membership with Kushner becoming a council member on Indian Creek Village’s governing board and the couple attending members’ events. Trump has been invited onto the golf course by current members.

“The social tide is turning,” says the article. “Jared and Ivanka are edging ever closer to club membership, according to a person familiar with the club’s current thinking.”

Current and former residents of Indian Creek island include billionaire Carl Icahn, former Philadelphia Eagles owner Norman Braman, former Miami Dolphins coach Don Shula,  Hotels.com co-founder Robert Diener, supermodel Adriana Lima, hedge funder Eddie Lampert and billionaire Jeff Soffer.

Jay-Z and Beyoncé owned a seven-bedroom Mediterranean-style spread from around 2006 until 2010. They sold to Dutch businessman Geert-Jan Bakker for $9.3 million.
