Outgoing U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley has sold her South Carolina home, according to local media reports.
Haley and her husband Michael sold their five-bedroom house in Lexington, S.C., for $405,000, multiple outlets reported Monday. The couple, however, has not lived at the property for a while, given Haley, who is due to leave her New York-based post at the end of 2018, had been South Carolina’s governor since 2010 before she joined the Trump administration, according to the State. Their children have also started college.
A representative for Haley did not immediately return the Washington Examiner‘s request for comment about her future plans.
It is unclear what Haley intends to do after she leaves the U.S. Mission to the U.N., though she has downplayed speculation she is considering whether to challenge Trump in 2020. It is additionally unknown who Trump wants to nominate as her replacement. John James, the Republican businessman who unsuccessfully tried to unseat Democratic incumbent Sen. Debbie Stabenow in Michigan, is rumored to be in the mix.
This is not the only property the Haleys have offloaded this year. In January, Michael Haley sold a commercial property that once belonged to his wife’s parents, Ajit and Raj Randhawa, for $1.26 million. It had been used for their women’s clothing company, Exotica International.
Haley has pushed back against the suggestion that her abrupt departure from the Trump administration is related to her family’s financial position. The Haleys are reportedly $1 million in debt, public disclosure documents indicate.
