Bernie Sanders' House

Bernie Sanders lives in this Washington DC home when he isn’t on the campaign trail. Sanders is currently a senator from the State of Vermont and a Democratic Party candidate for the Presidency of the United States. Back and ready for action after a health scare, the Senator is back on the campaign trail, hoping to put an end to the wealth gap. Rising in the polls and earning endorsements from several key players of the progressive movement, Sanders is running on a campaign aimed at abolishing the billionaire class. While it remains to be seen if the American people agree with his vision of the future, only time will tell if he gets the chance to enact it.

Sanders purchased this Capitol Hill home in 2007 for $489,000 though it is now valued at $562,500. Like the senator, this 1890 rowhouse is no-frills, with just one bedroom and two baths only three blocks from the Capitol and a half block from Stanton Park.

Sanders has amassed an estimated $2.5 million fortune from real estate, investments, government pensions and three books. In all, he has earned at least $1.7 million from his book series, starting with Our Revolution and then Bernie Sanders Guide to Political Revolution and finally Where We Go From Here: Two Years in the Resistance. In addition to the books Sander’s income is supplemented by his government pay and pension accounts. Sanders has collected a six-figure salary since he joined Congress in 1991, some of which he invested into personal real estate. Then there are his pensions, based on income and years of service. With 28 years in office and a current salary of $174,000, Sanders is entitled to at least $73,000 a year from the federal government for life. Bernie's total income in 2016 was $1,052,000. After taking into account mortgages and retirement accounts, Bernie estimated his net worth to be as high as $2 million.
