Most Luxury & Jaw-Dropping Politicians Houses That Will Leave You With Very Little Words
Ivanka Trump – Washington DC, $5.5 Million
Living in the nation’s capital certainly does not come cheap, but money is not an issue for Ivanka Trump. The daughter of former US President Donald Trump and her husband Jared Kushner purchased a home worth a whopping $5.5 million in the prestigious Kalorama neighborhood.
The interiors of the place are nothing but posh and luxurious. With a spacious dining room, a sunroom, patio and included five wood-burning fireplaces. The master suite is fitted with walk-in closets and a soaking tub that gives one beautiful view of the garden. This is a home fit for royalty, to say the least.
Al Gore – $8.8 Million, Nashville
Those who may have no idea who Al Gore is, he is an American environmentalist and politician best known as the 45th Vice president of the United States. He has since continued to work as an author and environmental activist and even won the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize. Gore is the proud owner of a 10, 070 sq. Ft Tennessee estate.
The 20-room Nashville mansion excluding eight bathrooms boasts a pool, pool house, and a separate guesthouse is Gore’s enviable abode in which he resides alone. The only downside about the star’s massive mansion would be its consumption of 21 times more energy than the average US household, which we don’t think Al Gore minds.
Jimmy Carter – Georgia, $167K
While many former United States presidents head to their lavish digs after they’re done with their office terms, Jimmy Carter is different. The 39th president moved back to his ranch in Georgia, living in a modest two-bedroom house that he built in 1961.
The property is as laid back as it can be, with a spacious living room fitted with rustic furniture and a kitchen where the Carters can make their delicious meals. What sets the former world leader apart from the rest is that he makes his own yogurt from the comfort of his home and goes shopping at a nearby store like many of his neighbors.
Bernie Sanders – Champaign Islands, Vermont, $575K
Bernie Sanders has been a mainstay figure in American politics, and he is currently the longest-serving independent senator in the US. Still, his success in the public office has also translated to other spheres of his life, with the politician being a proud owner of three mansions in the country, but none stand out like this one in Vermont.
Sanders splashed just over a million dollars to acquire the property, and if the amenities therein are anything to go by, he got every penny’s worth. The abode comes with four bedrooms and a modern kitchen, and to top it off, the activist gets to enjoy 500 feet of beachfront land.
Donald Trump – New York, $54 Million
Being a billionaire has its perks; one of them is being able to afford multiple homes. Most of Donald Trump’s properties boast luxury, but this one in New York probably holds a special place in his heart. Aside from being his home, the three-level penthouse in the Trump tower is only a few floors away from his offices.
A picture of extravagance, the pad is said to have been modeled after the Palace of Versailles, complete with ornate décor and an abundance of gold. When Trump gave ‘Forbes’ a tour of the 10,996-square-foot penthouse, he told the publication that it was the best apartment ever built, with a price tag of $54 million.
Ivanka Trump – Washington DC, $5.5 Million
Living in the nation’s capital certainly does not come cheap, but money is not an issue for Ivanka Trump. The daughter of former US President Donald Trump and her husband Jared Kushner purchased a home worth a whopping $5.5 million in the prestigious Kalorama neighborhood.
The interiors of the place are nothing but posh and luxurious. With a spacious dining room, a sunroom, patio and included five wood-burning fireplaces. The master suite is fitted with walk-in closets and a soaking tub that gives one beautiful view of the garden. This is a home fit for royalty, to say the least.
Sarah Palin – Arizona, $2.275 Million
Sarah Palin, the former Governor of Alaska, had everyone’s attention on her breathtaking house in Scottsdale, Arizona. The humongous 8,000-square-foot property has a sports court, pool, spa, and five acres of green space, including a synthetic lawn. The 6-bedroom and 6.5-bathroom mansion has two master suites and a his-and-hers-style bathroom.
Palin’s property is a dream for those who enjoy luxury. The large kitchen and dining rooms are designed in modern-style architecture. The abode also has a media room and a wine cellar. In addition, residents can enjoy cozy outdoor space on the large patio or the rooftop deck connected through one of the master suites. Palin listed this ravishing property for a renewed price of $2.375 million in 2019.
Kamala Harris – Los Angeles, $5 Million
Kamala Harris made history when she became the first female Vice President after she was elected into the top office alongside President Joe Biden. The US second-in-command has been massively successful in her political and attorney career, making the big bucks that have enabled her to live in luxurious digs.
The VP has an impressive real estate portfolio which includes this mansion in Los Angeles that she co-owns with her husband. The residence comes with four bedrooms, four-and-a-half bathrooms, and a sprawling swimming pool, among other amenities. Considering that it cost them a cool $5 million, we bet it’s modern and cozy.
Nancy Pelosi – San Francisco, $25 Million
Nancy Pelosi is hardly a new name in the United States political scene. She was the first woman to become a speaker of the House of Representatives and has been a dominant figure in the US government. For such a powerhouse, it’s no surprise Pelosi owns about $20 million worth of estate in nine properties. An extensive San Francisco property in the Pacific Heights region is one of them.
Pelosi and her husband Paul purchased it for $2.25 million in 2007, and it has appreciated to $25 million today. The 3,332 sq. Ft two-story red brick mansion was built in 1938 and has remained pristine. It boasts four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a 420 sq. Ft square basement.
Ted Cruz – Houston, $1.5 Million
Ted Cruz is a proud Houstonian, having grown up and represented Texas since 2008. His run for the Republican presidential nomination in 2016 made him a household name in conservative politics. Since then, he has never left the national spotlight, especially when talking about Texas and the Latino community.
He bought the three-floor, five-bedroom property built in 1940 and located in a posh area of Houston, for $1.5 million. This typical suburban residence, complete with a spacious backyard, an office space, and a game room, plus a master suite with two walk-in closets, is decent enough for the senator, his wife Heidi, and their two daughters.
Amy Klobuchar – Minneapolis, $302,500
Most politicians tend to have numerous places that they call home and Amy Klobuchar is no exception. She and her husband John Bessler are reported to rent a family-sized three-bedroom house in Arlington, Virginia for about $4,500 per month.
The couple also owns a condo in Minneapolis where they like to go for some quiet time away from the bustle of the city. This house sits on a space of 2,200 square feet with a partial basement and three bedrooms, and as of 2018, its value was listed as $302,500. Amy’s wealth is not just from being a senator; she receives income in form of royalties from books she successfully published.
