12. Bessent Real Estate
Thu Jun 4, 2026, 03:59 PM

Per Realtor.com…

Since the 1990s, Bessent has bought and sold more than $127 million worth of U.S. real estate, including at least 20 properties in his native South Carolina, New York, Florida and elsewhere. Bessent, 62, has a penchant for historic homes, often restoring and living in the properties he buys. In Manhattan, he has lived in storied prewar buildings such as the Dakota, 1 Sutton Place South and 720 Park Avenue. His other purchases have ranged from a beach house in Provincetown, Mass., to a country home in the North Carolina mountains. Bessent also has a home in London and owns property in Lyford Cay, a private community in the Bahamas

One of Bessent’s most recent transactions involved the sale of a stunning pink historical home in Charleston that sold for $18 million dollars.

I don’t think Scott Bessent is worried about the price of eggs - or pretty much anything else.
