California Governor Gavin Newsom Quietly Buys $9.1 Million Mansion
California Governor Gavin Newsom has expanded his real estate portfolio with the off-market purchase of a $9.1 million estate in Kentfield, California.
The deal, which was completed through an LLC, was finalized with seller Anthony Pritzker, the billionaire heir to the Hyatt Hotels fortune, according to Traded.

Video Tour
A YouTube Short shared by Golden Gate Lending Group offers a closer look inside the home’s main living areas and the flow of the backyard.
One thing that stands out most is the calming atmosphere of the home. From the birds flying through the backyard to the way light filters through the trees and into the bedrooms through glass walls, it’s clear Newsom has acquired an enviable spot to call home.
Where Did He Get The Money To Buy This?
Gavin Newsom co-founded and established a significant wine and hospitality business empire known as the PlumpJack Group, which began in 1992 with the opening of a wine store called PlumpJack Wines on Fillmore Street in San Francisco.
The business has since expanded to include multiple wineries, hotels, bars, restaurants, and retail establishments. The PlumpJack Group owns four Napa Valley wineries, including PlumpJack Estate Winery, CADE Estate Winery, Odette Estate Winery, and recently acquired others like Oso Vineyard.
These wineries focus on premium Cabernet Sauvignon and have a strong commitment to organic and environmentally sustainable practices, with CADE Estate Winery notably being LEED Gold Certified and organically farmed.
When Newsom became California governor in 2019, he placed his ownership interest in the PlumpJack Group into a blind trust to avoid conflicts of interest and announced an executive order barring state agencies from doing business with the group.
The trust is managed by a family friend, and control over the assets was formally relinquished by Newsom, although his sister remained president of the company.
Final Thoughts
Gavin Newsom’s $9.1 million Kentfield estate was purchased discreetly through an LLC in late 2024. The 5,600-square-foot home offers six bedrooms, six bathrooms, and a sophisticated blend of indoor-outdoor living tailored for both relaxation and entertaining.
With floor-to-ceiling windows, La Cantina folding glass doors, a resort-style backyard, and placement in a top-rated school district, the three-level property checks every box for a high-profile figure balancing public duty with personal life.
Whether it’s time spent with family or hosting political allies, this Marin County retreat provides Newsom a polished and private space just outside the public spotlight.
