Lawyers across the country often earn enough money to buy some pretty sweet real estate.
Attorneys have paid $40 million for a Manhattan penthouse or a little bit less for a family-friendly mansion in suburban Virginia.
A former Homeland Security advisor to George W. Bush and a key member of O.J. Simpson's defense team are just a couple lawyers who have done well enough to buy enviable homes.
If you live in a cramped studio apartment, prepare to feel a little jealous when looking at these beautiful homes. Everybody else can simply enjoy awe-inspiring real estate porn.
Lawyer and Confederate general William F. Brantley built this amazing Savannah mansion.
Some of our lawyer homes are historical.
Brantley built this incredible 9,700-square-foot home in 1857 in Savannah's Forsyth Park neighborhood, according to its listing. It was renovated in 2007 and is selling for a whopping $4.75 million.
The beautiful mansion has five bedrooms, eight baths, and (maybe) the ghost of a Confederate general who was murdered in a family feud, Curbed reports.
Florida lawyer Jim Ferraro built this outrageously large estate on Martha's Vineyard.
University of Miami football player-turned-trial lawyer Jim Ferraro began building this 23,000-square-foot estate on Martha's Vineyard in 2003, and his neighbors weren't too happy.
He reportedly had to pacify them at board meetings by showing them plans for the 61-room complex, which was completed in 2009. It has 14 bedrooms, 20 bathrooms, a pool, a basketball court, a tennis court, a bocci ball court, and a putting green, according to the Wall Street Journal, which also has some really cool pictures.
He told WSJ that it took $27 million and 80 workers to finish the estate, which has hosted up to 50 of his relatives at once.
Ferraro, who runs his own law firm specializing in mass tort law, made his name suing drug manufacturers, chemical makers, and asbestos companies.
Former DNC finance chair Marvin Rosen lives in this swank building on Central Park West.
Former Greenberg Traurig partner Marvin Rosen lives in this upscale pre-war coop, the Beresford, at 211 Central Park West.
He bought an apartment there late last year from journalist Kati Marton, who lived there with her third husband, the late diplomat Richard Holbrooke, the New York Observer reported. Marton originally bought the apartment in the mid-'90s with her second husband, fellow reporter Peter Jennings, according to the Observer.
Rosen and his wife Janet snagged the four-bedroom apartment for the "bargain price" of $11 million, according to the New York Observer.
Rosen was the finance chairman for the Democratic National Committee from 1995 to 1997 and helped raise $120 million for Bill Clinton's re-election campaign, the New York Times reported. He joined Greenberg Traurig as a partner specializing in corporate securities in 1983 and remained a practicing lawyer until 2000, his Forbes bio says.
