Jony Ive, the famous vice president who leads the design team of the Apple company, just bought a house worth 17 million dollars on the "gold coast" of the city of San Francisco. The house is located in one of the exclusive neighborhoods and was built in 1927, but of course it was modernized in the meantime. With 6 bedrooms, 8 and a half bathrooms, plus 2217 m², the house is impressive, but the view is just as impressive. Ive is 45 years old, has been an employee of Apple since 1996 and has shares worth over 100 million dollars, so he allows himself a little indulgence, especially since Apple is doing better and better.
