Interior Secretary Burgum's $5M Big Sky Condo Sits Unsold As He Skips Required 2026 Financial Disclosure
Billionaire Burgum Can't Unload His Multi-Million-Dollar Luxury Condo — and Still Won't Show the Public His 2026 Finances Two Months Past the Final Filing Deadline
HELENA, MT – Interior Secretary Doug Burgum's luxury condo at Big Sky Resort has now sat on the market for more than 300 days, and its asking price has already been cut by $355,000. Meanwhile, the billionaire in charge of America's public lands is one of only three Cabinet members whose 2026 annual financial disclosure has not been made public.
The four-bedroom, five-bath condo at 2 Highpoint Drive in Big Sky went on the market on December 16, 2025, at $5.35 million. On March 6, 2026, the price was dropped to $4.995 million. As of this week, the listing shows more than 300 days on the market with no buyer. The 3,427-square-foot unit carries $64,491 in annual property taxes and HOA dues of $9,045, billed twice a year, and markets ski access to Big Sky Resort and a shot at private membership in the exclusive Moonlight Basin Club. Burgum’s 2025 annual financial disclosure also lists his membership in the elitist Yellowstone Club.
“Billionaire Doug Burgum can't sell a multi-million-dollar luxury condo, and he can't seem to file his legally required financial disclosure form either. It says a lot about the downturn in the economy, and the lack of transparency and accountability for Interior Secretary Burgum," said Jayson O'Neill, spokesperson for Save Our Parks. "Nearly every other Cabinet secretary has managed to put their 2026 finances on the public record, yet the ultra-wealthy secretary auctioning off our public lands to data centers and extractive corporate interests has failed to provide the American public a full accounting of his personal finances."
Burgum is no ordinary seller. The uber-rich former software executive and North Dakota governor has been counted among the billionaires in Trump's Cabinet, alongside Scott Bessent, Howard Lutnick, and Linda McMahon, according to a U.S. News & World Report analysis of the administration's wealth. U.S. News calculated that those four Cabinet members alone are worth a combined $10.7 billion, compared to $118 million for President Biden's entire Cabinet.
That wealth matters because of what Burgum controls. As Interior Secretary, he oversees roughly one-fifth of the land in the United States, including natural and mineral resources, and America’s beloved national parks, wildlife, monuments, and public lands. Burgum has been implementing his fail-by-design plan to privatize public resources and exploit Americans’ natural resources for private profit, including cutting three million acres from Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante, iced the public out of public decisions, undermined the Endangered Species Act, opened Arctic wildlands to drilling, lowered oil and gas royalty rates, and approved data centers on public lands without public input. Within a few weeks of the new monument boundaries taking effect, at least 72 new mining claims were filed in Bears Ears alone.
Burgum was once among the officials thought to be one of the “adults in the room” who have instead chosen to carry out the Trump administration’s corruption in exchange for influence and power. Burgum has made at least six personal financial transactions since his confirmation and is one of only three Cabinet members with no 2026 disclosure.
Federal ethics law requires Senate-confirmed officials to file an annual public financial disclosure report (OGE Form 278e) listing their assets, income and liabilities. Under the Office of Government Ethics' 2026 filing advisory, 2026 annual reports were due May 15. Even with the maximum 90-day extension, the last possible filing date was August 13, which is now more than two months ago.
Yet as of today, OGE's public index of Cabinet-level disclosures shows no 2026 annual report for Burgum. A review of that index finds that 18 of 21 Cabinet-level officials have a 2026 annual report on file with OGE. Only three do not: Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and Energy Secretary Chris Wright. The public is left without a current accounting of the Interior Secretary's holdings, including any real estate, partnerships or LLCs, at the same time he is making public land leasing and extraction decisions worth billions.
The Big Sky condo is tied to Lone View LLC, which shares a mailing address with the Burgum Farm Partnership LLP and his campaign account. Without a current disclosure, the public cannot see Burgum’s personal financial decisions, including Lone View LLC’s condo or any proceeds from a sale. Secretary Burgum should immediately file and publicly release his 2026 annual financial disclosure, including a full accounting of Lone View LLC, the Big Sky condo, and any related properties and partnerships. The Office of Government Ethics and the Interior Department's ethics office should publicly disclose whether Burgum filed by the August 13 extended deadline, and if not, apply penalties.
