Jackie Kennedy's Childhood Home This is your chance to buy the former home of one of the most famous First Ladies. It is also the most expensive in the DC area, currently owned by Steve Case, a co-founder of AOL. Even though she was the First Lady for less than three years, Jackie Bouvier Kennedy is one of the most famous president’s wives in U.S. history. After spending her early years in the New York area where her father, John “Black Jack” Bouvier, was a stockbroker, Jackie’s mother, Janet, divorced John in 1940 and two years later married Standard Oil heir Hugh Auchincloss.
