(PM.) It has been revealed that Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley purchased a multi-million dollar waterfront mansion on an island in South Carolina shortly after joining the board of Boeing.
Haley has since resigned from the board. She bought the residence in Oct. 2019, just five months after joining the board of Boeing and shortly after leaving her post as US Ambassador to the UN in the Trump administration.
The New York Post reports that the residence on Kiawah Island was originally listed for $3.3 million but Haley was able to snag it for $2.4 million. The home is owned by Haley and her husband.
Haley, who has long been critiqued for her ties to the weapons makers and military suppliers, banked more than $700,000 in consulting fees and more than $300,000 in cash and stock from the aerospace company. According to the outlet, she had a net worth of less than $1 million when she left the Trump administration in 2018.
Haley resigned from the board in March 2020 after Boeing worked to obtain federal assistance during the coronavirus pandemic.
