Nikki Haley shocked the masses in 2018 when she resigned from her position as the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations under Donald Trump after serving less than two years. “As a businessman, I expect you will appreciate my sense that returning from government to the private sector is not a step down but a step up,” she penned to Trump in her bombshell resignation letter (via The Hill). A step up, indeed. Following her exit from public service, she promptly published not one but two books, generated a hefty income providing consulting services, and joined Boeing’s board of directors.
Then she really got people talking when it came out that she had put down a reported $2.4 million in 2019 for a waterfront home on Kiawah Island. The 5,700-square-foot residence boasts four bedrooms, four and a half bathrooms, an elevator, and an inground pool with views of the Kiawah River. Insert one of those “Salt Life” bumper stickers here. Still, Haley has remained rather mum about the real estate purchase, perhaps for good reason.
