[whohit]Jeff Bezos issued with $16000 parking tickets during the renovation of his Washington DC house[/whohit]Jeff Bezos, the Amazon billionaire reportedly paid a fortune in parking fines during the ongoing renovation works on his $23 million, Washington, DC mansion. A team of Bezos-employed appointees, who converted his home from a museum into a residence, racked up more than $16,840 in parking tickets while working on the property.
The tickets were accumulated between October 2016, when Bezos bought the home, and October 2019, when work slowed down.
They mostly came from ignored “no parking” signs, parking in spots reserved for residents, or blocking crosswalks and obstructing pedestrians’ paths. An anonymous source told the news channel that one general contractor set up “off-site parking and shuttles to and from the site” just to bring people to work on Bezos’ mansion and to avoid the parking nightmare. Work on the home appears to have been mostly finished as it was opened up for an afterparty where Bill Gates, Jared Kushner, Ivanka Trump, and actor Ben Stiller all reportedly attended; it’s unclear where they parked.
