No, this isn’t a photo of Kelly Loeffler’s house
Nestled on the banks of the Chattahoochee River in Atlanta, Ga., a 35,000-square foot mansion overlooks a sparkling infinity pool. Elsewhere on the 17-acre estate, there’s a tennis court, a guesthouse and a guardhouse. A billiards room, wine cellar, movie theater, gym, sauna and massage room can be found inside. And should you need to use the facilities, there are also 14 bathrooms.
"Just remember," reads one Facebook post that shared a photo of the home, "this is Kelly Loeffler’s house."
It’s not. TV host Steve Harvey bought the property for $15 million earlier this year.

U.S. Sen. Kelly Loeffler, the Republican trying to keep her Georgia seat in a runoff election against Democrat Raphael Warnock, has been called a likely contender for "the richest politician on Capitol Hill." Before she was appointed to her Senate seat in December 2019, Loeffler was an executive at the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange.
