Nikki Haley quietly bought a $2.4M SC island home after leaving office and joining Boeing, $BA, board, per NYP.In a subtle transaction, Nikki Haley, a current contender for the Republican presidential nomination, quietly invested $2.4 million in a waterfront estate on Kiawah Island, South Carolina, where she trails former President Donald Trump in recent primary polls.The 51-year-old political figure, formerly the US ambassador to the United Nations, acquired the property in October 2019, shortly after leaving public office and five months after joining Boeing's board. The Washington Post has reached out to Haley's representatives for comment.This expansive residence, jointly purchased with her husband, Michael Haley, is situated in the exclusive enclave of Kiawah Island.
