Ken Paxton Bought 3 Utah Condos, Adding to a $9 Million Real Estate Portfolio

Key Points:

• Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton purchased three condominiums worth $1.6 million at a luxury Utah resort in February, adding to a portfolio of at least 15 properties valued around $9 million.
• These properties are part of ongoing divorce negotiations with his wife, State Senator Angela Paxton, who has accused him of adultery; Paxton listed a Dallas-area home as his address where police records show a woman not his wife resides.
• Paxton transferred the Utah condos to his blind trust and has not publicly addressed his relationship with the woman seen vacationing with him.
• Despite his $153,000 salary as attorney general, Paxton’s growing real estate holdings have raised questions about the source of his wealth, with political opponents alleging he has used his public office for personal gain.
• Paxton recently won the Republican primary runoff and is now in a competitive Senate race against Democrat James Talarico, who has disclosed only one property and an annual salary under $100,000.
