President Biden and First Lady Jill Biden arrived in Nevada late on the 18th after the South Korea-U.S.-Japan summit, flying on Air Force One.

According to foreign media, Biden's daughter Ashley, granddaughters Maisy and Naomi, and Naomi's husband Peter Neal also accompanied them on Air Force One, while Biden's son Hunter Biden and his spouse, who have been embroiled in various scandals, were already at the vacation spot.

The Bidens rented a private residence near Lake Tahoe, a tourist destination located in the Sierra Nevada mountain range spanning California and Nevada, for this vacation.

The homeowners are billionaire investors and climate activists Tom Steyer and Cat Taylor. Steyer, a major Democratic donor, ran in the Democratic primary during the 2020 presidential election when Biden was elected but dropped out midway.

The White House stated that the Bidens paid a fair market price to rent the house and plan to stay there for about a week. According to the U.S. online real estate platform Realtor.com, the house is valued at approximately $8.4 million (about 1.13 billion KRW).

Meanwhile, the Bidens are scheduled to visit Lahaina, a port city on Maui Island, Hawaii, which suffered at least 114 deaths due to wildfires, for one day on the 21st.
