- Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez spent an hour touring the $88 million Bel Air mansion back in December
- The tour of the sprawling nine-bedroom property came just weeks before their relationship became public
- It has 15 bathrooms, a home theater, an art studio, a wine cellar and a raised swimming pool
- The property also offers sweeping views of the LA skyline and a spectacular rooftop garden
- The couple did not end up purchasing the $88 million property because it was too big and Bezos reportedly wasn't a fan of the raised swimming pool
- Sanchez's brother went on to inspect another $150 million property the following month on behalf of the couple but they passed on that home as well
