Scott Bessent's House

Scott Bessent is an American investor, board member, and educator. He is the founder of Key Square Group, a global macro investment firm. In November 2024, after Donald Trump won the US presidential election, Reuters reported that Bessent was being considered for the position of Treasury Secretary by the incoming Trump administration.

Bessent joined George Soros' Soros Fund Management in 1991 and was a partner there throughout the 1990s, eventually becoming the head of the London office. In 2000, Bessent hosted a fundraiser for Al Gore at his East Hampton, New York, home. In 2016, Bessent donated $1 million to Donald Trump's 2017 presidential inaugural committee.

In 2016, Bessent restored this property, the historic Daniel Ravenel House, and was later awarded the Preservation Society of Charleston's Carolopolis Award for the project.

Bessent listed this house for sale in October 2024 for $22.5 million.
