    They got it cheap because it is supposed to be under water in just a few years.

    I think it is about 40 feet above sea level. So don't worry.

    Amazing isn't the man managed to parlay a 6 years as a US senator, an 8 year gig as the most incompetent president since Jimmy Carter, and his retirement pay from that, into enough money to buy into some the most expensive vacation homes in America, I wonder if Country wide financed it for him...

    Why would someone who believes that sea level rise will soon devistate coastal areas, invest a significant portion of their children's inheritance in a beach house?

    At best Martha's Vineyard is only a nice place to be on half of the days in a year, if that.

    How about 72 feet above sea level?

    The latitude and longitude coordinates of Martha’s Vineyard are 41.4167799, -70.616139 and the approximate elevation is 72 feet (22 meters) above sea level.

    The highest point on it is seventy meters the house itself could be much lower. Given beach erosion with higher sea levels living on an islan is going to be risky. Hurricane season will be a joy.

    Not much different than George W.Bush who had to borrow the money he invested in pro baseball team which was the first money making investment of his life.He now has a nice home and a multi million dollar net worth.And he has really done nothing since leaving the presidency.

    Climate Central, a research group funded by the government during the Obama administration, projects the Obamas’ possible new mansion to be well underwater in its “Extreme Scenario 2100” model.

    No mystery - Obama released his tax returns every year ... Book deals and a $70 million dollar production contract with Netflix. Ain't rocket science. Ain't a mystery.

    So if you buy oceanfront property that you can afford to lose, and probably won't be underwater till after you're dead, you are a hypocrite because ...?
