Find out Where These 89 Top Political Figures in the U.S. Make Their Homes

Kelly Ripa: $120 Million – Telluride, Colorado

We all know Kelly Ripa from “Live! With Kelly Ripa,” but if you’re not a fan of the talk show, you may have seen her in the 2020 movie, “The Stand-In,” where she played herself. In 2021, she was a co-executive producer of the series “Exhumed.”

It’s no surprise that Ripa has an extensive property portfolio with her $120 million net worth. And although we don’t know a lot about her dreamy mansion in Telluride, Colorado, we do know it’s a popular spot for ski trips. She and her husband have described it as a peaceful space with incredible mountain views.

Tomi Lahren: $3 Million – Nashville

Tomi Lahren feels strongly about her conservative views, letting everyone know it. As a result, the political commentator and former television host gained widespread recognition as host on “TheBlaze.” In 2021 she continued as host of Fox Nation’s “No Interruption” while also making appearances on “Final Thoughts.”

Lahren moved from Los Angeles to Nashville in 2020 after snapping up a two-story house for $700,000. The exterior of the home is a unique blend of contemporary and rustic. But she’s done up the interior in neutral and sedate hues. The home also comes with large windows that let in enough natural light.

Tony Kornheiser: $18 Million – Washington, D.C.

Tony Kornheiser is a renowned broadcaster but also a multitalented individual. He’s also enjoyed a successful career as a writer, television host, and radio host. He served as a columnist for “The Washington Post” from 1979 to 2001 and hosted “The Tony Kornheiser Show” on “WTEM.” Kornheiser shocked the sports media world with his brutally honest assessment of the College Football Playoff in June 2021.

When Kornheiser isn’t busy with his day job, he spends time with his wife at his house at Chevy Chase, Washington, which is one of their houses apart from the holiday home in Delaware. Not much is known about their Washington home, though.

Kat Timpf: $1.5 Million – Manhattan

The renowned columnist, television personality, and comedian Kat Timpf is more than just a pretty face. After graduating magna cum laude with a B.A. in English from Hillsdale College, she sought a career in television. As a result, she’s appeared on shows like “America Live With Megyn Kelly,” “Fox and Friends,” and “The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore.”

The year 2021 was a happy year for Kimpf as she married her sweetheart, Cameron Friscia. And while we’re not sure if the couple relocated to a new home, we do know that Kimpf owns a house in Manhattan.

Sarah Palin: $8 Million – Scottsdale

Sarah Palin was the 9th Governor of Alaska from 2006 till 2009. But before her foray into politics, she worked as a sports reporter for the “Mat-Su Valley Frontiersman.” And she appeared once again on television when she competed in the third season of “The Masked Singer.”

When Palin purchased her Scottsdale property in 2011 for $1.75 million, she did a lot of remodeling. And now, the 4.9-acre estate has a massive negative-edge pool, a lit sports court, equestrian areas, and many other amenities. The house was sold to a new owner in 2019 for $6.2 million.

Meredith Vieira: $45 Million, El Dorado

Meredith Vieira is another well-known television personality. She is best known as the original host of the syndicated gamer show “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire,” a position she held from 2002 to 2013. But she was also the co-host of the NBC news program, “Today” from 2006 to 2011. In 2019, Vieira was announced as host of “25 Words or Less.”

All Vieira’s hard work in television paid off in 2014 when she picked up a newly-renovated penthouse in El Dorado. The three-bedroom home comes with two planted terraces which offer clear views of the Central Park reservoir. The penthouse can be accessed via a private elevator.

Deborah Norville: $18 Million – Park Avenue, Manhattan

When Deborah Norville became the anchor in the syndicated television news magazine “Inside Edition,” she could not have envisioned how long the job would last. And in 2021, almost three decades later, she still hosts the famous show. Norville also markets a line of yarn products called ‘Deborah Norville Collection’ for avid knitters and lovers of crochet.

She owns a Georgian-style four-bedroom, four-bathroom house on Park Avenue in Manhattan. At first sight, Norville thought the place looked like a wreck. But that turned out to be a good thing as she ended up spending 17 years in it. Finally, however, the gorgeous house was put up for sale in 2019 for $4.5 million.

Alex Trebek: $75 Million – Paso Robles, California

Alex Trebek is a legendary entertainer and television personality. His best claim to fame is his role as host of the quiz game show “Jeopardy!” for 37 seasons. As you can imagine, his passing in 2020 was a significant loss to the American television industry. So, in 2021, the “Jeopardy!” stage was renamed the ‘Alex Trebek Stage’ in his honor.

Trebek owned a 30-acre lakefront property in Paso Robles. The home has 2,595-square-feet of living space and a 1,500-square-feet metal shop building. It also has three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and an impressive view of Lake Nacimiento. However, it was sold for $1.3 million in 2019.

Oprah Winfrey: $3.5 Billion – Montecito, California

Oprah Winfrey’s talk show, “The Oprah Winfrey Show,” has the honor of being the highest-rated television program of its kind in history. Her interview with the Duchess of Sussex and her husband, Prince Harry, became one of the best talking points in 2021.

In 2001, Winfrey bought this 42-acre estate in Montecito, California, for $52 million. Additional purchases have increased its size to 70 acres. The estate is nicknamed “Promised Land,” and we understand why. The mansion boasts ten fireplaces, six bedrooms, two cinemas, and a lake with a beautiful collection of exotic fish.

David Muir: $7 Million – Skaneateles Lake

David Muir is one of the most recognizable faces on television. That is, of course, if you enjoy watching ABC’s “World News Tonight.” He has won multiple Emmy Awards for his national and international journalistic efforts. In 2021, he also became the lead anchor for breaking news and special events on ABC News.

A successful career in journalism hints at a sizeable income. But, of course, Muir’s beautiful Lakehouse in Skaneateles says just as much. So he bought the 4,300-square-feet home for $7 million in 2019 and spent a couple of months restoring it. He also says it’s the perfect place to catch his breath after traveling worldwide.

Chelsea Clinton: $10 Million – New York

The daughter of former United States President Bill Clinton and ex U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is Chelsea Clinton. Like her parents, she established a career in public service as a writer and global health advocate. With that, she enjoys a gorgeous New York condominium worth $10 Million.

It has a vast, open living room with beamed ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows that let natural light in. It boasts 13 rooms, four bedrooms, and five bathrooms. On top of that, the residence is protected with a full-time doorman and smart home system. Clinton launched a podcast, “In Fact with Chelsea Clinton,” in 2021.

In 2017, Quintanilla bought a seven-bedroom home in Bridgehampton for $3.2 million. The overall architecture is remarkable, but the dramatic touches within the home are even more impressive. The house is designed with vaulted ceilings, glass doors, a state-of-the-art chef’s kitchen, and a bluestone patio, perfect for entertaining.

Rush Limbaugh: $600 Million – Palm Beach

According to a 2019 report from “Talkers Magazine,” “The Rush Limbaugh Show” attracted a cumulative weekly audience of 15.5 million listeners. So it’s safe to say that Rush Limbaugh belongs to the list of the highest-paid radio personalities in America. In 2020, President Trump awarded him the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Before his death in 2021, Limbaugh owned a 2.2-acre estate in Palm Beach, which he initially picked up for $3.98 million. He also bought some neighboring land to expand the home and add three more structures. The 24,000-square-foot mansion has seven bedrooms and 12 bathrooms. In 2021, the two-story property was evaluated at $50 million.

Ellen DeGeneres: $500 Million – Santa Barbara, California

Ellen DeGeneres is the celebrated host of the syndicated talk show, “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.” And she’s pretty successful too. If anything, thanks to the show, which she’s hosted since its debut in 2003. In 2021 however, she announced that the 19th season would be the show’s finale.

DeGeneres is an expert at acquiring stunning homes and flipping them for a profit. A good example is this beach house in Santa Barbara, California, which boasts 10,500-square-feet of living space, including a rooftop patio and a deck. However, it was sold in 2018 for $34 million, $7.5 million over its purchase price as per “Cottages and Gardens.”

Conan O’Brien: $150 Million – Los Angeles

Conan O’Brien has built an impressive career hosting talk shows. He’s best known for “Late Night with Conan O’Brien,” “The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien,” and “Conan.” However, he stepped down as the host of “Conan” in 2021 after a 12-year run.

In 2008, O’Brien purchased a 5,000-square-feet home in Los Angeles that offers a panoramic view of the area and the Pacific Ocean. The house comes with six bedrooms, 8.5 bathrooms and is also equipped with a tennis court, a hot tub, and a massive pool. However, he only owned the home for four years before selling it.

Tony Robbins: $600 Million, Lantana, Florida

Tony Robbins is a popular motivational speaker and author of several self-help books, including 1993 published “Awaken The Giant Within.” Interestingly, he started as an assistant to Jim Rohn. Now, Robbins spends time holding annual workshops emphasizing positive thinking. In 2022, he released the book “Life Force.”

He owns a beautiful mansion in Lantana, Florida, which sits on two acres of land. The home also comes with an infinity pool, a spa, a club room, and a private oceanfront. Robbins engaged in several remodeling projects to bring the house up to his taste. We’d say he’s done an excellent job from the pictures above.

Candace Cameron Bure: $14 Million – Malibu

Candace Bure rose to prominence thanks to her D.J. Tanner character on the ABC sitcom “Full House.” Since then, she’s also starred in several “Hallmark Channel” movies which hints at a possible partnership. She plays Lara in the 2021 movie “The Christmas Contest.” In addition, Bure has four books to her name.

She owns a lovely house in Malibu, which she snagged for $2.35 million. The contemporary architecture of the home shelters a spacious living room, vaulted ceilings, and a breakfast area that opens out to the exquisite backyard. The lush green yard has us green with envy.

Kelly Ripa: $120 Million – Telluride, Colorado

We all know Kelly Ripa from “Live! With Kelly Ripa,” but if you’re not a fan of the talk show, you may have seen her in the 2020 movie, “The Stand-In,” where she played herself. In 2021, she was a co-executive producer of the series “Exhumed.”

It’s no surprise that Ripa has an extensive property portfolio with her $120 million net worth. And although we don’t know a lot about her dreamy mansion in Telluride, Colorado, we do know it’s a popular spot for ski trips. She and her husband have described it as a peaceful space with incredible mountain views.

Pam Oliver: $6 Million – Atlanta, Georgia

Pam Oliver is an American sportscaster best known for her work on the courtside of the NBA and sidelines of NFL games. However, Oliver got her big break in 1993 when she landed a job with “ESPN.” Since joining “Fox Sports” in 1995, she has been a familiar face. In 2022, she continues as a sideline reporter for the network’s #2 NFL broadcasting team.

According to “Fox Sports,” Oliver lives with her husband in Atlanta, Georgia. Unfortunately, no details of the home are available. However, we’re guessing her $6 million net worth would afford her a beautiful house.

Justin Trudeau: $10 Million – Rideau Cottage, Ottawa

Justin Trudeau is the 23rd prime minister of Canada. When he assumed office in 2015, he was the second-youngest prime minister in Canadian history, joining the rank of Joe Clark. Although Trudeau received the lowest popular vote percentage during the 2021 federal election, he still secured his position.

As prime minister, Trudeau had the option of living at the official residence at 24 Sussex drive; however, the house required some repairs. So he moved instead to Rideau Cottage in Ottawa. The building owned by the Canadian monarchy has 22 rooms and is built in the Georgian Revival architectural style.

Steve Bannon: $20 Million – Washington D.C.

Stephen Bannon was the Chief strategist under President Donald Trump’s administration. He’s also worked with Goldman Sachs as a media executive. However, his time in the White House ended after the first seven months of Trump’s first term. Unfortunately, in 2021, he was indicted on two criminal contempt charges.

Before Bannon’s run-in with the law, he lived in a D.C. rowhouse owned by Moustafa El-Gindy. Plans were made to build a three-foot metal fence around the property. But the Historic Preservation Review Board wasn’t having any of it, and they refused to sign off on it.

Donald Trump Jr.: $300 Million – Florida

Donald Trump Jr. may be the eldest child of the former President of the United States. Still, he’s made a name for himself thanks to his political activism and business relations. He serves as the executive vice president of The Trump Organization. In January 2022, he announced his engagement to Kimberly Guilfoyle.

The engagement doesn’t come as a surprise, especially as the couple shelled out $9.7 million for a Florida mansion in 2021. The home appears worth the payout with its manicured lawn, lush garden wall, and massive pool. It also has six bedrooms, 11 bathrooms, and an updated gourmet kitchen.

Wolf Blitzer: $20 Million – Bethesda, Maryland

It’s not farfetched to say that Wolf Blitzer has a lifelong commitment to CNN. His work at the news-based channel began in 1990 when he was employed as a military affairs reporter. Through the years, Blitzer enjoyed several promotions. However, in 2021 CNN announced that Blitzer would continue hosting documentaries while serving as the anchor of the network’s signature evening newscast, “The Situation Room.”

Despite his success as a journalist and news correspondent, Blitzer lives in a modest home in Bethesda, Maryland. He bought the two-story house for $710k in 1989 and has lived there ever since. Its value has appreciated and is North of $1.34 million.
