Amidst the backlash, Newsom is reportedly moving his family into this new residence, while retaining his previous $3.7 million mansion in Fair Oaks.
The multi-million-dollar purchase of the new home in Kentfield, Marin County, California, was made by Newsom and his wife, Jennifer, earlier this week, according to The Post Millennial. The acquisition came just before the governor released a Thanksgiving message that some have criticized as disingenuous.

In a video message, Newsom and his wife expressed their gratitude, stating, "This Thanksgiving, we give thanks to Californians across the state who make us strong, resilient, and united. Wishing everyone a joyful holiday filled with love, good food, and connection." However, this message of humility was overshadowed by the governor's relocation from the state capital to one of California's most affluent areas, as reported by the Daily Mail.

The governor's attempt to project humility in the video was met with skepticism. When Jennifer Newsom mentioned that the holiday is a time to appreciate what we are thankful for, the governor responded, "For Jen and I, that's our kids and our extended family and friends. But we're also grateful for all of you, California. For all that this state is and all that it stands for." This sentiment, however, was met with scorn from many who felt that the governor and his family were living a life of luxury while many Californians struggle.

One social media user retorted, "Happy Thanksgiving! How’s the weather over there in the $9 million mansion? Will you be offering tours?" Another wrote, "As you destroy the finances of the State of California, how’s slumming in your $9.1 million mansion? Where did the $ come from? You have no business or accounting sensibilities so was it the Cartels? The Getty’s? Money laundering from the $24 billion in missing homeless funds?"

Questions have also been raised about how Newsom, with a governor's salary of $200,000 a year, managed to afford a mansion worth $9.1 million. This sum, while substantial, pales in comparison to the cost of the mansion. The property is reportedly the fifth most expensive home sold in Marin County in the last 25 years, suggesting that even the down payment would have been substantial. These questions remain unanswered, leaving many Californians questioning the governor's financial acumen and his connection to the people he serves.
