Kamala Harris recently ran for president, losing the 2024 race to Republican rival Donald Trump. During her campaign, she often tried to present herself as a woman of the people…a kind of champion for the little guy. While we don’t know exactly what Kamala thinks about the little guy, though, we do know one thing: she and her husband Doug Emhoff have basically nothing in common with the common man.
Behind the scenes, Kamala Harris and Doug Emhoff have been living large before, during, and after the election. And once you know how luxurious and lavish their lives are, you may never be able to look at this couple the same.
Don’t believe it? Keep reading to discover the ways that Kamala Harris and her husband live like a king and queen!
Kamala Harris and Doug Emhoff enjoy wealthy vacations
Pop quiz, hot shot: where do you take your family on vacation? Many Americans simply go somewhere they can easily drive, which might be as simple as a trip to the mountains or the beach. Others fly to more modest destinations like Disney World or the occasional landmark like the Grand Canyon. Wherever you go, though, it’s a safe bet that your vacations aren’t as swanky as the ones that Kamala Harris and Doug Emhoff enjoy.
The best example of this came after she lost the presidential race to Donald Trump. According to the Daily Mail, they took a pricey trip to Hawaii to relax and decompress. The relaxation isn’t cheap, though: they stayed in a $7 million beachfront home which costs a cool $1,300 per night to rent. Some of Kamala Harris’ opponents criticized her for taking such an expensive vacation, but we’re just busy wishing we had enough money to follow suit!

Connected to the rich and famous
Certainly, vacationing at a Hawaiian home worth millions of dollars is a pretty sure sign that Kamala Harris and Doug Emhoff are wealthy. What if you want more proof, though? Certainly: in this case, all you have to do is take a closer look at who they are hanging out with!
This power couple has plenty of connections to famous A-list celebs. Some of these connections come from Emhoff’s time as an entertainment lawyer who helped out celebrities for a living. And, of course, some of these connections came from the flood of celebrity support that Kamala got after she began earnestly running for president.
Some major names who endorsed Harris include Katy Perry, Alanis Morissette, Lady Gaga, Reese Witherspoon, and Will Ferrel. And Taylor Swift’s endorsement basically set the internet on fire. Throw in the celebs who entertained crowds on the campaign trail (including Oprah Winfrey, Eminem, and Megan Thee Stallion), and it’s clear that the lives of Kamala Harris and Doug Emhoff are a bit like the night sky: absolutely full of stars.
Living large in some killer homes
Earlier, we touched on the swanky places where Kamala Harris and Doug Emhoff have vacationed. That brings us to the obvious question: is their actual home fancy? While nothing is quite as fancy as a beachfront home in Hawaii, the truth is that this couple has lived in some very luxurious homes over the years.
Back when Harris served as Joe Biden’s vice president, she and Emhoff lived in Number One Observatory Circle, Washington, D.C.’s traditional home for vice presidents. After leaving office, though, she and her husband returned to their $5.3 million home in Brentwood. The couple’s expensive tastes certainly haven’t changed: Page Six reports that Emhoff was spotted in the Upper West Side taking a closer look at a condo that rents for a cool $20,000 a month.

Kamala rocks some fancy fashions
If you have a good eye for fashion, you don’t really need to know where she lives or vacations to know that Kamala Harris likes to live large. All you have to do is take a closer look at what she usually likes to wear. In short, Harris has an eye for fancy fashions, and she isn’t averse to spending a small fortune to get the perfect fit for her wardrobe of designer clothing.
While in office and on the campaign trail, Kamala Harris tried to strike a balance between looking like a fashion icon and looking like a political leader. Her home wardrobe, though, is full of unrelentingly expensive fashion statements, including the $3,950 Monique Lhuillier sheath dress she wore in 2014 to attend the 45th NAACP Image Awards. She also owns a $3,630 Pamella Roland sleeveless sequin-stripe gown that gave her such a memorable look at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party in 2015.
You might think to yourself that these fancy events justify a fancy wardrobe. However, even Harris’ regular clothing is pretty bougie, including a Carolina Hererra wide lapel coat that costs $3,190. We can’t swing those prices, but we’ll have to settle for the next best thing: shopping at some Brentwood thrift stores in the hope that she dropped something off!
