In a move that critics may cite as his own inconvenient truth, former Vice President Al Gore and his wife, Tipper, have added a house in secluded Montecito to their real estate holdings.
The couple spent $8,875,000 on a gated ocean-view villa on 1 1/2 acres with a swimming pool, spa and fountains, according to real estate sources familiar with the deal. The Italian-style house has high ceilings with beams in the public rooms, a family room, a wine cellar, terraces, six fireplaces, five bedrooms and nine bathrooms in more than 6,500 square feet of living space.
Montecito has long been a haven for Southern California's rich and famous, a spot where celebrity faces can blend into the crowd. Among the community's notable residents have been talk show giant Oprah Winfrey, actors Michael Douglas and Christopher Lloyd, and golfer Fred Couples. The 93108 ZIP Code, which includes the coastal hamlet, was ranked as America's seventh most expensive area last year by Forbes.
Word of the purchase was reported in late April in the Montecito Journal. Gore, 62, did not respond to The Times' requests for comment.
Three years ago, Gore added solar panels and other energy-saving features to his 10,000-square-foot mansion in Belle Meade, Tenn., after he had been criticized for the amount of energy the home used.
After serving as vice president from 1993 to 2001 and playing spokesman on global warming in his 2006 Academy Award-winning film "An Inconvenient Truth," Gore is now chairman of Current TV. He also is the founder and chairman of the Alliance for Climate Protection and a founder of the Beverly Hills-based environmental organization Live Earth.

If i recall properly, he also flunked out of a law school and a divinity school. Truly one of the great Americans of this generation.

You make the call.
Santa Barbara is Ronald Reagan’s old neighborhood, not that Gore has any shame to feel about it.
I hope they are all equipped with less than 1.6 gallon capacity toilets to save the planet.
The total of his global warming followers, every damn one of them.
He’ll still never be POTUS.
“I think his income needs to be leveled to say $100,000 and the balanced redistributed to the needy!”
You give him more credit than I do. The sob needs to be out scratching for a living
Maybe I’ll see him next time I visit the Fam in Santa Barbara.
That is true. But remember the Administration says they want to ‘redistribute income’ and make everyone equal. I say $100,000, but my guess is the Administration says $10,000 for all ... except our ruling elite is my guess.
Is that the same house as in the pictures I posted? I’ve been trying to find a photo that shows its proximity to the ocean but can’t seem to do so.
“Santa Barbara is Ronald Reagan’s old neighborhood, not that Gore has any shame to feel about it”
Ronald Reagan didn’t preach the Algore gospel before he moved there. Gore is a lying hypocrite
“He’ll still never be POTUS”
The sorry sob couldn’t win back his former senate or house seat in Tennessee
The ranch’s original adobe two room house was built in 1872. When he took ownership Ronald Reagan immediately set to adding an ell-shaped addition in order to create a cozy living/dining area. The one-bedroom house, less than 1500 square feet and modestly decorated, is a testament to the Reagan’s simple values and lack of pretense.
...and I one time I had to persuade a far left lib. from TN that he didn't actually have a technical degree...:^)
