Controversial TikTok real estate investor Tom Cruz paid a hefty $17.75 million for a tricked-out Miami mansion, dubbed Villa Q, on double-gated Belle Meade Island.
The bay-front home, at 1125 Belle Meade, was built last year.
At 8,222 square feet, the four-story home features six bedrooms, six baths, two powder rooms and a 14-car garage.
Cruz was infamously called out on TikTok in 2021 after he posted his “Forbes Friends List” — a spreadsheet that listed friends by details like their incomes, vacation budgets and relationship status.
Viewers were particularly offended by a nickname, “Broke Bobby,” for one friend earning $125,000 a year.
Cruz declined to comment.
