Jacinda Ardern's home rises more than her salary as leader of Opposition

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern's Pt Chevalier home has increased in value by $350,000 in three years.

The 37-year-old is one of several notable Auckland homeowners whose properties have soared in price, revealed today in the council's new valuations.

Her house - co-owned by partner Clarke Gayford - increased by $350,000 from $770,000 to $1.12 million, a gain of 46 per cent, between 2014 and 2017.

By comparison, her prime ministerial salary, revealed last month, is $493,655, including an allowance.

Her salary was $312,987 when she was the leader of the Opposition, meaning she has added $180,668 with the new role - a gain of 58 per cent.

Her salary when a Member of Parliament was $160,024.

In 2014, it was worth $1.45m. Its latest valuation is $1.85m.

Former Team NZ sailor Dean Barker and Oracle skipper Jimmy Spithill may have missed out on winning the America's Cup this year, but they did not miss out on their property valuations increasing.

Barker's Omaha holiday home increased 15 per cent from 2014, while Spithill managed to get another leg over Barker. His Herne Bay house increased 46 per cent from its previous valuation.

Another big rise was the mansion formerly rented by Kim Dotcom in Coatesville. It boasted an increase of 40 per cent with its new $33m valuation.

Businessman Deyi Shi bought his Orakei home - previously owned by former Hanover Finance director Mark Hotchin - for $39m in 2013, which was also its valuation in 2014. In the latest valuation, it has risen to $46m.
