James Earl Carter Jr. was raised in a loving home by his mother, a devoted nurse, and father, a prosperous businessman, after being born in the small Georgian town of Plains. His desire of serving in the military was realized at the Naval Academy, where his early education culminated.
Jimmy Carter’s life turned around in 1946 when he wed his academy sweetheart, leading to a happy family life. Choosing not to pursue a career in the Navy, he came back to Plains to take over the family business and construct a modest ranch-style home that is currently worth slightly more than $209,996. This decision demonstrated his willingness to live a modest life and forgo the financial rewards that his predecessors in office usually sought.
Unlike other past presidents like Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush, who racked up millions of dollars in spending, Jimmy Carter’s post-presidential years were characterized by thrift and public service. His modest yearly taxpayer-funded expenses were significantly lower, at $456,000.
Surprisingly, Carter is frequently spotted at his neighborhood Dollar General, opting for commercial travel over private, and imparting his wisdom in Sunday school and college classrooms. His modest, grounded way of living says a lot about his morals and the satisfaction he derives from minimalism.
Justin Timberlake Sells Sprawling 127-Acre Property in Tennessee for $8 Million
The singer of “Mirrors” gave up ownership of the verdant plot of land just a few weeks before his conviction for DWI on June 18.
Officially, Justin Timberlake has bid farewell to a sizable tract of land in Tennessee.
The forty-three-year-old singer of “Mirrors” sold his approximately 127-acre Franklin, Tennessee, property for $8 million. According to the listing, it’s tucked away “less than half a mile” from the quiet community of Leipers Fork and about 45 minutes outside of Nashville.
Not only does the property provide breathtaking vistas of Leipers Creek Valley, but it also has 50 acres of pastures and wildlife food plots. On-site features include footpaths, spring creeks, and a fishing pond.
The listing was held by Tom Sullivan of Covey Rise Properties.
According to property documents, Timberlake legally relinquished ownership of the expansive site on May 30, while on his current Forget Tomorrow World Tour.
The Tennessean claims that the Memphis native bought the land in 2015 from local preservationist and philanthropist Aubrey Preston.
Preston told the site that he and the Grammy winner have a great deal of affection for their home state, nearly a year after Timberlake’s acquisition.
At the time, Preston remarked, “We both love Tennessee and loved growing up on land.” “We want to do our share to protect that for our children and future generations. We got to know one another in this way.
The transaction occurred just a few weeks prior to Timberlake’s June 18 arrest in Sag Harbor, New York, for allegedly driving under the influence.
He was stopped by a Sag Harbor policeman while traveling from the American Hotel to a friend’s house. Subsequently, the singer was issued two citations for failure to maintain lane integrity and one count of driving while intoxicated.
Although Timberlake’s arrest has sparked a frenzy among the public and his fans, a source tells PEOPLE that he and wife Jessica Biel are unconcerned about the event.
“They have put the arrest behind them. The insider stated, “They continue to put work and family first and have faith in their legal team.” Timberlake and the actress from The Better Sister are parents to two kids, Phineas, 4, and Silas, 9.
