Fact Check: Unraveling rumor Newsom bought this expensive house on $140K salary
Claim: A video authentically shows a house owned by California Gov. Gavin Newsom, who receives an annual state government salary of $140,000. Rating: A rumor that circulated online in early August 2025 claimed a video showed an expensive house owned by California Gov. Gavin Newsom. Users sharing the video, and some commenters, also alleged Newsom received an annual salary of $140,000 — calling into question how his family might be able to purchase such a home. For example, on Aug. 5, an X user reposted a TikTok video showcasing the view from a vehicle driving past the in-question house, and misspelling Newsom's name as "Newsome." The post (archived), receiving over 1.4 million views, displayed a text caption reading, "Gavin Newsom's house. Not bad for a 140k a year salary." At least one TikTok user then reposted (archived) the video, including with a cutout text caption from the X post. Other users posted the clip on Facebook and X. While Newsom and his wife, documentary filmmaker Jennifer Siebel Newsom, have purchased expensive homes, the in-question video did not show a house they owned, nor did the posts accurately show the governor's annual salary. Snopes contacted Newsom's press office by email and phone to ask if they wished to comment on the matter, and will update this story if we receive further information. Utah home and governor's salary A July 6, 2024, Instagram video (archived) showing the same home from the in-question clip featured a glimpse of a street sign for Deer Crest Lane in Alpine, Utah — far from Newsom's office in California's capital city of Sacramento. The user's video made no mention of Newsom or politics. Searches of Bing, DuckDuckGo, Google and Yahoo found no news media outlets ever reporting any news about Newsom buying a home in Utah. A reverse-address search for the property address on displayed two owners' names, including a man and a woman — neither of them named Newsom. listed the 4,653-square-foot home's estimated market value at over $2.56 million. One of the earliest posts — if not the first — from a user attempting to tie Newsom to the Alpine home appeared in a video (archived) on TikTok user @__thesmithfamily__'s account on July 29, 2024. The user then reposted (archived) the clip again on the same date in 2025, reviving the rumor in early August for further shares by users on several platforms. We sent a message to the user to ask questions about their false claim and will add any future responses to this story. The California Department of Human Resources website (archived) lists Newsom's current annual salary as $242,295, not $140,000. Newsom's houses and wealth In November 2024, the San Francisco Chronicle reported (archived) the Newsoms planned to split their time between a newly-purchased $9.1 million home in Marin County and their other house in Fair Oaks. According to The Sacramento Bee (archived), the Newsoms bought their Fair Oaks home, located in Sacramento County, in December 2018, for $3.7 million. As for the users who questioned how Newsom could purchase such expensive houses on his governor's salary, the Los Angeles Times reported (archived) in October 2018 the details of his past business ventures and investments, including making millions in the wine industry: For the last two decades, Gavin Newsom has been rising to the highest levels of California politics. At the same time, he also has become a multimillionaire businessman, with an upscale chain of wine stores, wineries, restaurants, nightclubs, hotels and retail shops stretching from the Bay Area and Napa Valley to Lake Tahoe and Palm Springs. He built some of those businesses with the Gettys, heirs to an oil fortune who have deep connections to the Democratic lieutenant governor's family. While Newsom has focused his campaign for governor on his progressive politics, he also has touted his success as an entrepreneur and jobs creator, citing the 23 businesses and 800 employees under the umbrella of his PlumpJack Group. For further reading, we previously investigated the true claim that Newsom dined with lobbyists at the posh French Laundry restaurant in Napa Valley in November 2020 — during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Men shot alongside Kodak Black seek $10.6 million damages
Two bystanders wounded by gunfire outside a Justin Bieber-hosted party in 2022 are seeking $10.6 million (£7.9 million) in damages from Kodak Black. The men claim they saw the rapper "initiate" the altercation that led to the gunfire that struck the No Flockin singer, as well as them. The pair were set to begin a civil trial this month, but a judge has vacated the date. At a Wednesday hearing in Los Angeles, the lawyer for Adam Rahman and Mark Schaefer told the court that Black was the sole remaining defendant and should be found "in default". That means that he hasn't responded and should be held liable by the court. "Kodak has never been served with any lawsuit from California," the rapper's longtime lawyer, Bradford Cohen, told Rolling Stone. "I find it unusual that they're attempting to sue the very person who was the most injured out of the individuals who got shot." The plaintiffs first asked for a $62 million (£46.5 million) default judgment against Black last November. The court denied the request, citing inadequate proof of damages. A follow-up request for $10.6 million (£7.9 million) was denied last month, with the judge noting the men were required to show proof of medical bills. The lawsuit initially named Bieber and the owners of the venue where the shooting happened as defendants alongside Black. A judge ruled that the shooting was not "foreseeable" to the restaurant, so the corporate defendants were dismissed in June 2024. The plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed Bieber as a defendant a few months later.
