Amazon founder Jeff Bezos on Friday announced that he is moving from Seattle to Miami, joining other high-profile billionaire entrepreneurs who have made the move to Florida.

“I’ve lived in Seattle longer than I’ve lived anywhere else and have so many amazing memories here,” Mr. Bezos wrote on Instagram, including a decades-old video of him touring the “first office” of Amazon, which he started in his garage. “As exciting as the move is, it’s an emotional decision for me. Seattle, you will always have a piece of my heart.”
