A look at the opulent mansions of the rich and famous

Angela Dorothea Merkel | Net Worth: Undisclosed

Angela Merkel rose through the ranks as the chairwoman of the Christian Democratic Union to become Germany’s first female Chancellor, establishing herself as one of Europe’s foremost politicians. During her tenure, which was affirmed with a fourth election in 2017, she skillfully navigated Germany through economic crises and helped steer the country towards prosperity.

Despite her elevated position, Merkel lives in unpretentious surroundings. Her official residence is situated on the top floor of a modern federal building on the banks of the Spree River, measuring a mere 2,150 square feet. The building was designed and constructed in 1997 by architects Charlotte Frank and Alex Schultes after a public competition.
