The world of politics is ruthless. Never mind the competition: dealing with the criticism of the press and public alone can be an extremely demanding task. But if there’s something we’ve learned by getting to know the houses of America’s most prominent political figures, it is that life in politics also comes with its perks.

From former presidents to rising stars of the Senate, our list features the humble (and not so humble) abodes of the men and women we all love to judge, criticize, and—once every four years—vote for. From Trump Tower to CityCenterDC, let’s take a look at the beautiful properties America’s most influential people call home!

Donald Trump – New York, $100 Million

If you’ve ever been to New York City, you may have passed by Donald Trump’s residence: after all, the man’s name’s written in the door! In 2016, it was reported that the former president of the United States lived in a $100-million penthouse overlooking Central Park.

‘Luxury’ is the keyword when it comes to Trump Tower, which is filled with 24-carat gold details and was inspired by the lavish French monarch Louis XIV. Arguably one of the world’s most famous men, Trump’s been relatively quiet since leaving his job at the White House. According to Newsweek, he was ahead of Joe Biden in a 2024 election poll published in 2021.
