In Biscayne Bay in Miami sits a tiny, high-security private island nicknamed the "Billionaire Bunker" for the wildly wealthy and high-profile people who live there.
The 34-home community, called Indian Creek Village, is home to just 42 people, as of the 2017 census. The billionaire investor Carl Icahn, the supermodel Adriana Lima, the Spanish singer Julio Iglesias, and the Miami Dolphins coach Don Shula are among the island's elite residents.
Beyoncé and Jay-Z also once owned a home on the island, though they sold to a Dutch businessman in 2010 for $9.3 million.
The island is kept safe by a private 13-person police force that that even patrols the perimeter from the water, according to Nelson Gonzalez, a luxury realtor and the senior vice president of EWM Realty International.
Only one home in Indian Creek is for sale: an eight-bedroom, Mediterranean-style mansion listed for $24 million. On a recent trip to Miami, I got a tour from Gonzalez of the opulent home he's selling.
Here's a look inside the $24 million mansion in one of Miami's most exclusive and expensive neighborhoods.
