Pat Kissinger, Intel's former chief executive, has announced that he will officially retire from the struggling tech company on Dec. 1, 2024, and resign from the board of directors. Intel shares soared 3.9 percent on Dec. 2 following the news, reflecting the market's reaction to the news of his departure.

Kissinger, who has four children with his wife, Linda Fauchon, has not said whether he will continue to work in the tech industry or retire altogether, but his real estate portfolio and lifestyle seem to point to the latter option. The focus of the couple's life today may be shifting to enjoying the serenity of California, especially in the two mansions they sit in.

One of the eye-catching properties is located in the Silicon Valley neighborhood, just 30 minutes from Intel's headquarters. This mansion boasts six bedrooms and six and a half bathrooms with luxurious amenities including a home theater, wine cellar, and library. The property was originally purchased in 2013 for $6.25 million and undoubtedly became one of their high-end homes in the tech hub.
