Donald Trump -New York, $54 Million
Truly, there’s nothing more daunting than Mr. Donald Trump’s $3 billion purse, right? From mogul to U.S. President, 'The Donald' surely heeds his advice of going for the grandest outtakes in life. Even in estate matters, his plethora of homes never miss the luxurious mark.
At least $54 million— that’s the pricing extent of Trump’s towering picture-perfect mansion in the Big Apple. The three-story penthouse imposes 24-karat gold trimmings, lavish portraits, and marble features inspired by Louise XIV Versailles architecture. Nothing short of breathtaking, the 10,996-square-foot pad has its working elevator with an overlooking sweep of Central Park. No wonder the former president adored spending time here as much as at the White House.
Barack Obama – Massachusetts, $11.75 Million
Barack Obama served as the 44th POTUS, who also has the distinction of being the first African-American President of the USA. Former President Obama is the owner of a pricey real estate portfolio, and his opulent Martha’s Vineyard is the most prized jewel in the collection.

The former First Lady lives in a luxurious mansion in Washington DC. The house, known as 'the Whitehaven,' consists of seven bedrooms, five elegant bathrooms, a large dining area that seats up to 30 people, a swimming pool, and any other luxury you can imagine. So, naturally, only the Clintons' closest friends are permitted inside the extremely private residence.
Mike Pence – Indianapolis, $1.5 Million
A perk of being a politician is that one gets to live in many government buildings throughout their career and enjoy the amenities that one does not have to pay for. An example would be the 48th Vice President of America, Mike Pence, who first lived in the Governor’s Residence in 2012 and then resided in the Number One Observatory Circle in Washington.
Still, nothing comes even remotely close to one’s own home. The same goes for Mike Pence, for whom nothing feels more welcoming than the 10,300-square-foot home that he is located in a little north of Indianapolis. The house cost him a whopping $1.5 million and is worth every penny. It has a total of seven bedrooms and is surrounded by lush greenery.

The 5000 square-foot property has six bedrooms, seven bathrooms and a private backyard and patio area. The entire house has been redone to give it a particularly modern feel. Located in the prime area of Kalorama, the neighborhood is home to the poshest crowd in America, including Jeff Bezos.

Especially when there’s enough green space to play golf on.
When a place is this huge, it becomes a luxurious dream to enjoy. That’s perhaps why Sarah Palin seemed so relaxed when spotted outdoors! The cozy patio and the magnificent media room must have given her enough comfort before 2019 when the house was listed for a sale price of $2.375 million.
Bernie Sanders – Vermont, $575K
Bernard Sanders, also known as Bernie Sanders, is an American politician and a junior United States senator from Vermont ever since 2007.

Located in the quiet town of North Hero, Vermont, the $575K house features four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and 500 feet of beachfront. The neighborhood is reported to be a serene place, with most owners maintaining the houses as their second homes and holiday retreats. It sprawls across 1.1 acres of land with a log-cabin-styled main house.
George W. Bush – Texas, Undisclosed
As the 43rd President of the United States of America, George Bush had a lucrative salary and, of course, the White House. In his eight years of occupation, though, the historic all-white outlay rarely bore witness to Bush’s pivotal Heads of State special visits; his Texas ranch was the one that took center stage.
Charmingly breathtaking syncs well with the former president’s 1,600-square-foot vast estate, hailed as the 'Western White House.' Inside, the mansion throws in neutral tones with a wrap-around aperture, several pet portraits, and unique fixtures designed by Mrs. Bush. Outside, there’s a flowery sward and a pool area surrounded by trees. Lavishly earthly, the property successfully combines environmental elements with a modern twist.
Bill Clinton – New York, $1.7 Million
What’s it like to wear Bill Clinton’s shoes for a day? Aside from his reputable political hold, the former U.S. President also has a weighty nine-digit treasure, free for spending however he likes. In fact, one of his lavish expenditures was the $1.7 million mansion, in the style of Dutch-colonial, which was worth every penny just by the neighborhood itself.
Unassuming and modest, this 1.1-acre home might not look much, but Chappaqua folks, where it is situated, is Forbes verified as one of America’s most expensive towns. Bill’s estate carries the same splendor, with its five bedrooms, fantastic pool, and a spacey car park. Oh yeah, there’s also a barn converted to a security system—safe and comfortable.

Also known as the Red Gate Farm, the real estate comprises acres of lush green space with a two-story main house. The house features five bedrooms, an outdoor pool, and a tennis court. The real estate was listed on the market in 2019 for $65 million, but the family decided to keep 95 acres, including the house selling the rest to two non-profit organizations for $27 million.
Jimmy Carter – Georgia, $167K
Jimmy Carter, the politician, saw the golden days of his career when he served as the 39th President of the US from 1977 to 1981. Jimmy was definitely cut from a different cloth, and his lifestyle post-retirement is proof enough. While most politicians retire to extravagant mansions, Jimmy, after retirement, shifted to his old ranch in Georgia.
The house is an old piece of property that was built in 1961. It only has two standard-sized bedrooms with nothing opulent or glittering thing to it. Estimated to be worth only $167K, the former president is happy in his laid-back abode and is enjoying a simple, quiet lifestyle.

Elijah Cummings was one of the most admired politicians of his era. He consistently fought for the rights of the people he served and the nation during his distinguished political career. Yet, the civil rights activist lived a life of simplicity until he passed on in 2019.
Elijah had a home in Baltimore, but no financial information is available about the property.

Scaling on top at Forbes 'Governors Money Mountain’ race with his $225K per year, Andrew Cuomo could quickly bash on life’s luxury, unlike the rest of us. For starters, his lavish net worth of $5 million had granted him a colossal abode referred to as ‘Lily Pond,’ priced at $1.59 million.

Madeleine Albright – Washington D.C., Undisclosed
With talks of growing women’s power, it’s impossible not to mention the late Madeleine Albright, the very first female Secretary of the US state. As reputable as her resume in politics, the former diplomat’s net worth of $ 67 million was also admirable. Albright’s millions of Benjamins had afforded her a manifold of luxurious estates, including her favorite English-inspired D.C. retreat, which boasted a star-spangled banner jutting on her grand front door—very patriotic.
The Georgian-styled abode is decorated with earthly colors, voluptuous sofas, and rose-muted shag. Towards the rear, an expansive garden dwells, not prime though, since the former Secretary wasn’t exactly your typical horticulture dame. As of late, the two-conjoined brick home has been peddled for condo renovation.

For speaking on behalf of America’s citizens as much as to set a record for becoming the first female senator, Dole rightly deserves having such a precious living space to wind-down in after a long day of work.

This was a 14-story hotel made specifically for affluent people, and who could have suited it better than the Dole family?

It was Bob’s favorite as well as what the place was famous for, though all 212 units have now been refurbished, unfortunately.
