Value of the White House

The White House is worth an estimated $110 million.

The White House’s 132 rooms make up 55,000 square feet total and include a swimming pool, bowling alley and movie theater. When factoring in the historical value of the property, Koitz estimates that the home of 44 presidents could be worth more than $1 billion.

With a price tag of more than $100 million, the White House counts as one of the most expensive properties in America. Only two properties in the U.S. are listed as more expensive: the 10,000 square foot top floor penthouse at One57 Penthouses in New York can be purchased for $115 million, while the 35,000 square foot Fleur de Lys Mansion in Los Angeles, CA is valued at $125 million.

When it comes to the homes of other world leaders, the White House’s appraised value dwarfs that of the U.K. Prime Minister’s official residence at 10 Downing Street, which was estimated to be worth $7.3 million but the home of the Queen, however, is a different story. Buckingham Palace is said to be worth more than $1.6 billion.
