He might be shaking a bit in his designer loafers as Californians head to the polls — or more accurately, send in their mail-in ballots — to decide whether they want to recall him but the Golden State’s Democratic governor Gavin Newsom is nonetheless tap dancing all the way to the bank when it comes to the sale of his former home in the Bay Area’s wealthy Marin County.
Tax records show the popularly elected pol, who garnered nearly 62% of the votes in the 2018 election, more than any other Democratic candidate in state history, and his documentary filmmaker wife Jennifer Siebel Newsom (“The Great American Lie”) have more than doubled their money on the $5.895 million off-market sale of a crisply contemporary home in the sleepy and woodsy community of Kentfield that they scooped up nearly a decade earlier for $2.25 million.
