But in April, it was revealed that the expansion of the megamansion had been put on hold indefinitely after Bezos failed to complete a planning application for a new 'game court fence.'
Bezos had planned to extend the property with a new pool house, powder room and retaining walls.
An initial application was granted in 2021 but Bezos submitted a new request to add a 'game court fence with lighting' in January this year, but it was denied because the paperwork was incomplete.
The original application asked to add around 1,000 square feet to the 28,000-square-foot mansion.
But it looks like it's been sorted as construction has already resumed.
The megamansion is just one part of Bezos's wide ranging real-estate profile, thought to be worth $600million, as he splits his time between properties with Sanchez.
Also in 2020, he forked out $10million for the house next door in Beverly Hills.
He owns four separate apartments inside an art-deco block on Manhattan's Upper West Side and in 2016 he spent $23million on a mansion in Washington D.C., three years after he bought the Washington Post.
The property – which sits in the upmarket Kalorama neighborhood – was formerly the Textile Museum and sits in the same neighborhood where the Obamas and Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump have lived.

DailyMail.com revealed this week that the Amazon boss popped the question to his Emmy Award winning journalist girlfriend on board his $500million superyacht named Koru
But until they can move into their Beverly Hills home, the newly engaged couple have taken up with Knispel, who has been the money manager of the Kardashians as well as Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj.
In March, Sanchez posted a photo of herself and Bezos outside of Knispel's home, with the caption: 'Right before the Versace fashion show in LA with my favorite person.'
DailyMail.com revealed this week that the Amazon boss popped the question to his Emmy Award winning journalist girlfriend on board his $500million superyacht named Koru – a Maori word meaning unurling fern..
The couple were seen kissing and canoodling on board throughout the weekend, while Sanchez, 53, struggled to conceal the rock that glinted on her ring finger – sparkling proof that she said, 'Yes.'
The newly minted fiancés were seen off the coast of Mallorca and Cannes, where they are enjoying a Mediterranean odyssey and the inaugural voyage of Bezos's half a billion-dollar superyacht.
At 417 ft long and 230ft tall, Koru is one of the world's largest sailing yachts complete with 250 ft support vessel that boasts its own helipad.
The pair flew into Europe by private jet and were first seen on the deck of the yacht last weekend.
