Sarah Palin Supports Abstinence Education 

Daughter Bristol Pays the Price

Sarah Palin has put her estate in Scottsdale, Arizona, up for sale while welcoming the birth of a new granddaughter, as daughter Bristol became a single mother for the second time.


The 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee has been in the news lately as a defender/advocate for GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump, with Trump hinting that Palin is potential cabinet material.

The Los Angeles Times first disclosed that the Palins’ digs in the desert are on the market for $2.5 million. The home is 8,000 square feet with six bedrooms, six-and-a-half bathrooms, a six-car garage and high ceilings with chandeliers.  Out back are four acres with a pool, a spa, a sports court, a fire pit plus a synthetic lawn.

Palin cashed in on fame.  She quit in mid-term as governor of Alaska, and in the following year took in an estimated $23 million as book author, Fox News personality and in-demand, six-figure speaker.   She used a limited liability corporation to purchase the Scottsdale home in 2011, then in foreclosure, for $1.65 million.

The fame has faded, although Palin has flirted with two presidential runs.  Fox News did not renew Palin’s contract when it came up in July, and she pulled the plug on the pay-to-view “Sarah Palin Channel” due to low viewership.
