    Putting distance between himself and his Chicago rivals (source):

    Capone became increasingly security-minded and desirous of getting away from Chicago. ... In 1928, Capone paid $40,000 to Clarence Busch of the Anheuser-Busch brewing family for a 10,000 square foot (930 m2) home at 93 Palm Avenue on Palm Island, Florida, between Miami and Miami Beach.
