Donald Trump, the 45th president of the United States, was in the media nonstop after his presidential campaign kicked off in June 2015. He enjoys making headlines, and the people he surrounds himself with are often drawn into the news as well, whether they seek it out or not.
The public are curious about the president and his advisors, and knowing where they reside is one of the most interesting things to many people.
Kellyanne Conway
Kellyanne Conway had a successful career as a pollster, political advisor and consultant when she joined the Trump campaign in August 2016. Since that time she has made a name for herself guiding the candidate and now president in managing his public image, often providing a strong defense of the president’s actions, words and tweets.
Her husband George is also a successful Washington operative and litigator. Together, they have four children and live in an exclusive neighborhood near Embassy Row, in a 15,000 square foot mansion that is worth roughly $8 million.
They also own a home in Ventnor, New Jersey, that Kellyanne bought in the 1990s and they visit there often on the weekends as a place to get away from the busyness of Washington, D.C.
Steven Mnuchin
Before joining the Trump administration as Secretary of the Treasury, Steve Mnuchin had a very successful career as a Hollywood financier, banker and hedge fund manager. His net worth is estimated to be around $300 million, in part to his success financing movies such as the X-Men franchise.
Both as the campaign’s national finance chairman and Secretary of the Treasury, Mnuchin has attempted to remain behind the scenes. Nevertheless, he and his wife, actress Louise Linton, have often ended up in the headlines for misusing government resources.
When they moved to Washington, D.C., they bought a $12.6 million home complete with nine bedrooms, 13 bathrooms, a sauna and fitness room and of course a screening room.
Mnuchin has also enjoyed spending his summers at a home in Southhampton, New York, which he bought in 2005 for about $15 million. It boasts seven bedrooms and seven bathrooms, as well as a guest cottage fancier than most homes.
Paul Manafort
Despite only having worked for Trump as campaign chairman from June to August 2016, he has left a lasting, and somewhat negative legacy on the administration due to his personal and professional actions long before he worked for the president.
Manafort was a successful lobbyist, strategist and consultant for several top Republican leaders before branching into more lucrative businesses internationally.
Manafort, like any DC operative, has to stay close to the action. He maintains a condo nearby in Alexandria, Virginia. The 2,000 square foot property in Oronoco overlooks the Potomac River, and set him back $2.75 million in 2015.
In 2012, he bought a condo in SoHo, New York, for just under $3 million, and is where his daughter and son in law reside. This home has been linked to a shell corporation used to funnel money from Cyprus, bringing it to the center of attention in his 2018 federal trials for corruption and money laundering.
These are just two of the many residences owned or linked to Manafort through his business dealings, including homes in New York, Florida and California.
Ben Carson
Ben Carson serves as President Trump’s Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, but before accepting the position in the Trump administration, he had a successful career as a neurosurgeon and author and even ran for president in 2016.
As a result of his successes, Carson has been able to afford several nice homes, including one outside Washington, D.C. in nearby Vienna, Virginia. He purchased this home in January 2017 for $1.3 million in anticipation of his service in the administration. The home is over 6,000 square feet and has five bedrooms and five bathrooms on a 1.5 acre lot.
Carson and his wife had a home in West Palm Beach, Florida, but sold it in 2017 and purchased another, much larger home in Palm Beach Gardens. This home set Carson back about $4.35 million, but at nearly 9,000 square feet, with five bedrooms and five and half bathrooms, the home in a gated golf community should provide a lot of peace and quiet away from the chaos of Washington, D.C. politics.
Anthony Scaramucci
Scaramucci was an investment banker in New York, and joined the Trump campaign’s finance team. After Trump won, Scaramucci worked in the administration, and was promoted to Communications Director on July 21, 2017. After a drama, profanity and scandal ridden ten days, Scaramucci was fired, also in dramatic fashion.
Although his tenure at the White House only lasted about one week, “The Mooch”earned a lasting reputation. He continues to appear on news and talk shows, generally defending the president and his policies, providing his own color commentary all along the way.
Scaramucci owns multiple homes, including a home in Manhasset, New York.
Donald Trump owns several amazing residences from New York to West Palm Beach, and resides in the most exclusive residence in the world. His staff show a similar style for luxury, exclusivity, and the good life by where they chose to live, raise families and spend free time. Whatever the politics are, these homes are wonderful places to live, if you’re that lucky.
