The third richest man in the world? He’s just like you and me. Kinda, sorta.

On Sunday night, Jeff Bezos reportedly tucked into Carbone restaurant in the South of Fifth neighborhood for a few glasses of wine, Page Six first reported.

The King of Amazon and his fiancée, Lauren Sanchez, had just been pictured perusing all the amazing works at Art Basel Miami Beach, and perhaps wanted to rest their feet and unwind.

A fellow patron told the media outlet the couple didn’t try to hide from peering eyes, but sat in the main dining room where “everyone could see them.” OK, so they did sneak out the back to avoid paps, which makes sense.

We’re just relieved they’re acting like normal local yokels and doing regular things like ordering a somewhat affordable adult beverage. House vino at the Italian hotspot starts at around the $17 mark and Bezos, worth roughly $169 billion as of Monday, makes more in one minute than most people make in a year.

Bezos and Sanchez seem to like the SoFi area, which is about four miles from their massive spread in Indian Creek Village, aka Billionaire Bunker. Page Six adds that the two also stopped in at nearby Papi Steak two nights before. That eatery seems more in line with a big spender, as it’s the home of the $1,000 steak in a golden briefcase.
