Ann and Mitt lived in Belmont, Massachusetts for over thirty years. Although that home was sold in 2009, as of August 2011, the Romneys still own several homes.
•Beachfront home in La Jolla, California. They want to enlarge the existing $12 million 3,009-square-foot Spanish-style home by bulldozing it and replacing it with a 11,062-square-foot mansion.

•Townhouse in Belmont, Massachusetts. This is their main residence.


•Vacation home valued at $10 million on Lake Winnipesaukee's shore in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire.

also this: In June 1965 Mitt asked Ann to marry him when she was 16 years old. They had only dated for a few months.

and: Andrew Sabl: "Ann was widely mocked for this at the time. I don’t dissent from the mockery. Her idea of her and Mitt facing “not easy years,” having “no income,” “living on the edge” as “struggling students,” was that the couple had had to face college with only sale of stock to sustain them. By Ann’s own account, the stock amounted to “a few thousand” dollars when bought, but it had gone up by a factor of sixteen. So let’s conservatively say that they got through five years as students—neither one of them working—only by “chipping away at” assets of $60,000 in 1969 dollars (about $377,000 today)."
