HELENA (AP) — Montana's Gov. Greg Gianforte and first lady Susan Gianforte have purchased a historic Helena mansion for $4 million that they eventually plan to donate to the state for use as the governor's mansion, the governor's office announced Monday.
Gianforte, a Republican, is a multimillionaire who founded a cloud computing company that sold to Oracle in 2011 in a $1.5 billion deal.
"Susan and I are fortunate to have achieved the American dream, and with that, we believe we have an obligation to give back," Gianforte said in a statement.
