A Rare Glimpse into the Fabulous Homes of the Rich and Famous
Jimmy Carter – Plains, $167K
When we think of a former U.S. president, grandeur and lavish mansions might come to mind. Yet, Jimmy Carter’s post-presidential abode sings a different tune. It’s no sprawling estate but a humble two-bedroom ranch in Plains, Georgia—about a two-and-a-half hour drive south of Atlanta. Valued at $167K, it stands in stark contrast to the grandeur of the White House.
Forget fancy dinnerware and designer clothes. Jimmy and his wife spend their weekends chowing down with the neighbors on paper plates and swigging bargain-brand wine. Also, according to a 2011 Rolling Stone story, Jimmy’s fashion sense is on point, thanks to his local Dollar General store.
