Jacob Helberg, Trump's nominee for undersecretary of state for economic growth, energy, and the environment, and his husband, Keith Rabois, want to sell their Miami Beach mansion for $65 million. The couple bought the property in 2020 for $29 million and spent an additional $15 million for multiple home renovations.
What makes this house extraordinary is the magnanimous aquarium, which requires a scuba driver to dive in it and clean it. The further features of the house—two kitchens, a sauna, six bedrooms, ensuite bathrooms, and an entertainment area—are no less in making the house worth millions.
Jacob Helberg Going Washington, DC
Jacob Helberg is a senior advisor to Palantir Technologies CEO Alex Karp. From now on, everyone will remember him as President Trump’s pick for undersecretary of state for economic growth, energy, and the environment. According to the latest news, Jacob Helberg is going to Washington, DC, on a permanent basis.
A venture capitalist and the husband of Jacob Helberg, Keith Rabois, has declared that he would live in the Miami Beach mansion. However, he also emphasized that he would often visit the capital to look after Jacob. Lately, he continued investing in companies, including DoorDash and Stripe.
Couple is Selling Their House
Jacob and Keith have decided to sell their beach property. Together, they have listed the price as worth $65 million, but not on MLS. Resources reveal that this time, both are going for a deal without the interference of the market.
You must not know, but the couple bought the Venetian Islands home back in 2020 worth $29 million. They also spent $15 million to make their Bayfront Florida home customized according to their taste. The high-end renovations include a giant 5,600-gallon aquarium, which was imported from Japan.
According to the contractor, Julian Johnston, the price of the aquarium is $1 million, and it is so massive that a scuba diver is required to clean it. Also, the doorway to the aquarium is through the hatch inside the main bedroom’s wardrobe. The maintenance person must slip in through the hatch.
Miami Beach Mansion Features
Miami Beach Mansion is a masterpiece of art. From its entrance and living space to the outdoor deck and terrace, the architectural elegance is reflected uniquely. To your surprise, the house was previously built for the former Bolthouse Farms president, Andre Radandt, and it acquired the shape of a living mansion in 2019.
The property is spread over an impressive 15,000 square foot area. It contains two kitchens—one indoor and one outdoor. In addition, the house is loaded with luxuries, such as an infinity-edge pool, private dock, outdoor terrace, rooftop, sauna, 55,000-pound boat lift, six bedrooms, and bathrooms. The house’s every corner is a showstopper, such as a two-island indoor kitchen, fine dining space, customized wood floors, and calfskin wall panels.
Many go awestruck by seeing only the mere entrance that makes the property worth remembering. It has a bridge over the pool that leads to a two-story wall with complicated and fine-cut designs. The famous sculptor Erwin Hauer devised this idea.
Helberg’s Current Residency
According to the latest news, Helberg has not confirmed his role in the administration. Even then, Helberg and Rabois have purchased a house in Kalorama, DC. The area contains seven bedrooms and living space and is situated near the French Embassy.
The couple bought this house worth $7 million. The location is also home to many influential people, like Barack and Michelle, Ivanka Trump, Jeff Bezos, Scott Bessent, Howard Lutnick, and David Sacks.
