How anti-capitalist Michael Moore built a £30m fortune
Telegraph UK ^ | July 25, 2014 | Kate Palmer

Don’t be hoodwinked by his casual demeanour and capitalism rants – Michael Moore’s millions make him one of the richest men in American media.

Film-maker Moore, 60, made his name for anti-establishment politics with Capitalism: A Love Story (2009) and Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004) – accruing a multi-million dollar fortune in the process.

Moore’s impressive property portfolio was laid bare during divorce proceedings from his wife of 22 years, Kathleen Glynn.

The political controversialist finalised his split from 58-year-old Glynn on Tuesday in a US court in northern Michigan, where the couple owns a £1.2m lakeside home.

The 10,000 square-foot luxury pad is one of nine properties belonging to the couple, who wed in Flint, Michigan, in 1991.

Moore shares his time between his home state and New York City, where he owns a Manhattan apartment.

The couple did not disclose how their fortune would be divided, with Moore commenting on his Facebook page: “Kathleen and Michael have mutually and amicably reached a divorce settlement.”

In an ironic postscript, Moore added a clip of Bruce Springsteen's Rosalita (Come Out Tonight) to the update. The divorce proceedings had been ongoing since June last year.

I think that Gore and Mikey have a rich man’s bet over who can be the biggest hypocrite and get away with it like the two rich guys in trading places.

Why of course it would be the last one, if it had to be one of those.

Was he weaned on a lemon?

I think a lot of liberals have an idea of “zero sum game” in the back of their minds. Money and goods that rich people have, must be money and goods that poor people can’t have. Except that most rich people DO invest in poor people, leaving the poor better off than if they had to be itinerant tinkers. There is even some trickle down from Moore, though he is more miserly than most other rich people are.

I don’t know if this information is current, but up to a couple of years ago, Michael Moore was invested in Halliburton, and some other large oil companies. He is said to own quite the stock portfolio.

Poor Mikey. When he invests in some liberal fund it loses. So he has to go begging to the enemy. Just can’t win.

I don’t have any problem with him selling movies for idiots. Heck I like science fiction. What I don’t like is him selling them as documentaries presented as truth and I don’t like anyone getting film subsidies.

A couple of minor changes and he could be a model free marketeer.

Well, I think a fiction writer should be very plain that his product is fiction. To present it as a new gospel is just garbage.

How did he do it?

Easy - a GREAT deal of phony baloney.

Proves once again that no one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people.

I wonder what the genetic defect is that causes that.

Simple, brainless, stupid human denial. The richer he gets the louder he’ll shout.

Phoney-baloney sales require baloney makers and baloney buyers.

GW Bush been berry, berry good to Mikey Moore.

If it were not for GW, Moore would be serving popcorn at the snack bar, not showing films on the silver screen
