Al Gore’s New $8.8 Million Pad

Being green has its rewards:

Former Vice President Al Gore and his wife, Tipper, have added a Montecito-area property to their real estate holdings, reports the Montecito Journal.



The couple spent $8,875,000 on an ocean-view villa on 1.5 acres with a swimming pool, spa and fountains, a real estate source familiar with the deal confirms. The Italian-style house has six fireplaces, five bedrooms and nine bathrooms.

I hope it's far enough up the hill to avoid the rising oceans.



And won't all those fountain, spa and pool pumps require an awful lot of energy?
