Pete Buttigieg – Indiana, $125K

In 2021, Business Insider reported that Pete Buttigieg was to become the most powerful Transportation Secretary ever. Overseeing a massive $200-billion bill, the promising American politician from South Bend, Indiana, decided it was finally time to get rid of his very humble former abode.

Sitting in his local town, Buttigieg’s former house was listed in March 2021 and sold quickly for an undisclosed price. According to the website LGTQ Nation, the house cost Buttigieg a mere $125K over a decade ago, and some outlets reported that the politician’s mortgage sat at just $450 per month.
