How do ambassadors live?

Answer 1

In the US, US ambassadors live like the rest of us, in whatever kind of house and driving whatever kind of car they can afford on their ordinary salaries.  Overseas, they have a lot of representational responsibilities, so are normally assigned to a beautiful, large house by local standards with plenty of entertainment space.  Of course, where the ambassador actually lives in that house is usually a rather ordinary three-bedroom apartment upstairs, where the public doesn't go.  Depending on local security, the ambassador might be able to drive around in his or her own car when not on duty, but is always assigned a nice car and driver for official work.

If you want to see what some of the outside and public spaces of ambassador's overseas residences look like, try googling "ambassador's residence."
