Gavin Newsom Purchases $9.1 Million Home

California Governor Gavin Newsom has purchased a $9.1 million mansion in Kentfield, Marin County, where his children are now enrolled in local schools, amidst criticism over the use of taxpayer funds. The six-bedroom, 5,600 square foot home features luxurious amenities such as a swimming pool, spa, and extensive views, and was bought through a private LLC. Newsom will maintain his $3.7 million home in Fair Oaks, Sacramento, where he will still spend some nights with his wife. The relocation aims to ensure educational continuity for the children, especially with the eldest starting high school. Critics express concern over the lavish spending, while some locals welcome his move, although not all are pleased with his governance. Newsom's office confirmed the family will split time between the two residences, but did not confirm specifics of the property acquisition.
