These Politicians Houses Leave Us With No Words
Ted Cruz – Houston – $1.6 Million
Though Ted Cruz is one of the most renowned Republican politicians, he has managed to keep his private life away from prying eyes. The lawyer and solicitor has a house in Houston whose details are scanty. All we can gather is that he spent a cool $1.6 million to have the old-fashioned property in River Oaks under his name.
It is safe to say he lives like a king behind those high walls, and should he decide to show us around; we’ll have more details. Until then, it remains a mystery, just like how Cruz wants it.
Donald Trump – Mar a Lago, $10 Million
In Donald Trump’s philosophy, if you want to be in the game, you need to think grand. Well, nothing could be more imposing than a $3 Billion fortune at your disposal. It goes without saying that for all Trump’s self-deprecating humor, he’s an esteemed man who goes after the biggest score.
Unsurprisingly, Trump’s favorite hideaway is his $5 million Palm Beach estate built by heiress Marjorie Merriweather in 1927. The posh palace sprawls in a 17-acre land, with a staggering 128 rooms. Eventually, he turned this abode into a private club, accessorizing it with a 20,000-square-foot ballroom donned in gold worth $7 million. Yet, for all its beauty, this paradise is a maintenance nightmare that runs by the millions.
Barack Obama – Massachusetts, $11.75 Million
After spending two terms as the President of the United States, Barack Obama has a palatial home on 29-acres of land in the affluent Martha’s Vineyard. He paid $11.75 million for it, and the mansion was worth every penny.

Barack and his wife, Michelle Obama, along with their two daughters, have always loved to spend family time on the island in Massachusetts during vacations. Now, they get to live there.

Representatives now place her right where historic policymakers belong.
You can also tell that with a resume like hers, owning an impressive house isn’t farfetched. The exact features and worth of her long-time mansion located in San Francisco have not been made public to date for security reasons. Yet we firmly believe that if Nancy and her five children and spouse can comfortably dwell there, the residence must be quite perfect indeed.
RON DESANTIS – FLORIDA, $350,000

In addition, the politician is also the owner of a stunning property in Nashville.
Gore owns a beautiful mansion that is spread on an area of 10,000 square feet and looks striking from an aerial view. The house is surrounded by greenery, which makes sense why an environmental activist would choose to live there. The house is exceptionally spacious and has about 20 rooms.
George Bush – Texas, Undisclosed
As the 43rd president of a powerful nation, George Bush had enormous security. Along with the prestigious job came a parade of staff, a handsome salary, and the White House. Surely, he had a blast perking over such amenities. Yet, despite the endless provisions, Bush’s most precious time is spent in his Texas retreat.
Dubbed the ‘Western White House,’ the former president’s 1,600-square-foot abode is genuinely breathtaking. The interior scheme is all neutral colors with wrap-around casements, donned with pet portraits, a limestone chimney, and furniture pieces designed by Mrs. Bush. The outdoor effect features a tree-shaded pool and a flowery lawn that extends to a tree farm. Rest assured, this haven is anything but a modest outlay.
Bill Clinton – $1.7 Million, Chappaqua
If you want a lifestyle like Bill Clinton, you ought to have at least a $120 million purse. The former President has made quite a fortune for himself through his formidable political maneuvering. With plenty of hard cash to dally, he can pretty much get whatever he wants, yet he opted for this $1.7 million, Dutch-colonial-style magnificence.
The high-fenced, 1.1-acre residence might seem modest outside, but Chappaqua holds one of the most expensive towns listed by Forbes. Thus, Bill’s estate is no different, boasting exquisite five bedrooms, a massive pool, and a parking lot. With political mayhem, the politician also added a barn for home-based security. Now we can see why this gem is a great place of comfort.

It’s the same two-bedroom ranch the couple had made their home in 1953, 17 years before Jimmy became the President.
Built on 2.4 acres of property on Woodland Drive in Georgia, their home, worth $167k as of 2018, is a far cry from the mansions of the other politicians. Jimmy and Rosalynn have lived there for decades, with an added detail of being surrounded by a government-owned fence.
