According to a report from the Wall Street Journal, Apple’s Senior Vice President of Design, Sir Jonathan Ive, has just purchased a 7,274-square-foot house on San Francisco’s “Gold Coast”. The well-known executive, given credit or designing a slew of Apple products, paid $17 million for the home that is said to be located on “one of the city’s most exclusive blocks.”
Ive joined Apple in 1996, and he has since played a crucial role in the company. In May, he was even knighted by the Princess Royal. At any rate, it looks like Ive will be around for a while, despite rumors about him possibly going back to the United Kingdom. [WSJ]
