Happy Birthday to former US Ambassador
Nikki Haley (January 20th). She turns 47 years old.
As usual, I am fascinated by how the rich and famous live. Below is her official residence while a United States Ambassador to the
United Nations. It's a gorgeous full-floor penthouse with a square footage of nearly 6000 square feet. Two corner master bedrooms, 11-feet ceilings and huge windows galore, wow!
The building's location is across the street from the UN complex. Ms Haley lives at the apartment with her husband, son, and dog. Her daughter is away at college.
Rent: $58,000/month
Who chose this place and how can an Ambassador afford the rent with a "measly" pay rate of
$161,900 a year (per Executive Schedule)? It's all courtesy of the US government, of course -- one of the many perks of a stressful and important job.
See more pictures of the gorgeous apartment in the links below. The brouhaha over her very expensive apartment drapes is also in the link below as this post was written at the time of the controversy and before her amicable resignation.
Ambassador Haley is on Facebook and on Instagram.

"Enjoying an enviable midtown location, 50 United Nations Plaza has been designed by celebrated architects Foster + Partners and developed by legendary Zeckendorf Development and Global Holdings. From the shimmering exterior of glass, burnished gold and stainless steel to the oasis-like calm of the motor-court and lobby, every detail of the striking 43 story tower has been thoughtfully considered. All 88 residences feature at least one coveted corner exposure and deep bay window that capture an abundance of natural light while framing incomparable views of the East River and Manhattan skyline in which the Chrysler Building, The Empire State Building and The United Nations Sculpture Garden, General Assembly and Secretariat buildings take center stage." --streeteasy.com
