Karoline Leavitt made history as the youngest White House press secretary when she assumed office on January 20.

As the 27-year-old made her debut in the briefing room just days after Donald Trump's inauguration, she promised to speak frequently with the news media while also welcoming podcasters and social media influencers to the White House. The New Hampshire native is married to 59-year-old property tycoon Nicholas Riccio, and the pair welcomed their first child, Nicholas, on July 10, 2024 - three days before Trump was wounded in an assassination attempt in Pennsylvania.

She had planned to go on maternity leave but quickly returned to work three days after giving birth. When Trump was re-elected in November 2024, she became the youngest person ever to be named White House press secretary and the sixth working mother in a row to hold the post.

While her exact salary as Trump's press secretary is unknown, she is estimated to make around $180,000 for the role, which is what the last press secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre, made. Karoline's net worth is said to be around $6 million. Her high-profile job requires her to be near Washington, DC, where she now resides in a craftsman colonial home.

Karoline occasionally shares snippets of the property on social media, particularly on Instagram, where in addition to her professional updates, she also shares personal photos and videos with her loved ones. Built in 2003, the home blends classic architecture with modern features including a pool, spacious gardens, large windows and a patio.

The bright and cozy living room features a stately fireplace, a large sofa and an armchair. Adjacent to it, the dining room features large French doors that open up to a large, private deck, with plenty of space to host gatherings.

The kitchen is spacious and luxurious, boasting high-end stainless steel appliances, sleek terrazzo countertops, two pantries and a classic farmhouse sink. On the main floor, there are hardwood floors and 10ft ceilings which add to the home's sense of brightness and space. There is a guest bedroom with a full bath, providing comfort to any visitors.

During her 2022 Congressional campaign, Karoline's home address was publicly listed in Hampton, New Hampshire. The classic home is located in a neighborhood surrounded by local families and offers a mix of historical features with modern convenience.

One of the most notable features of the property is its location, within walking distance to downtown Hampton. There are also schools and a public library nearby. The home is also a short bike ride away from the New Hampshire coastline.

The residence features a covered porch in the entrance, a cozy living room on the first floor, with a separate kitchen and dining area. The second floor is where the bedrooms are located. There is also a basement, complete with a half-bathroom and extra space for recreational activities. The Hampton property also comes with an expansive two-acre lot, which is not common in the area.

Karoline's husband owns a multi-million dollar real estate empire. The New Hampshire native transformed rundown waterfront spots in Hampton Beach - an hour from Boston - into resort destinations, according to Realtor.com. He also founded Riccio Enterprises LLC and currently owns nine rental homes in New Hampshire and one in West Virginia.
