This is why I don’t like using the word entrepreneur anymore. It has become cringworthy with dopes like this that use it and don’t do any entrepreneuring.
The Presidential run is a transparent attempt to build his rep so as to up his future speaking fees and “fill the pipeline” with engagements. Appears to be working nicely.
Huh. I’m quite a lot richer than he is.
“Im quite a lot richer than he is.”
SWEET! How soon can all FReepers expect their $1,000 checks?
Middle class house in Campbell or West San Jose now runs between 1.3 - 1.8 million.
They sold in the 90’s for about 300K - 400K.
Last time NorCal was affordable was 1975.
So, Andrew Yang’s yearly income is $150,000 a year. What can he afford in Silicon Valley assuming he wants to take a mortgage?
Is this his house in NY? That's ok, getting into politics will make him filthy rich even if he doesn't win any office. He could then hire an illegal to weed his lawn.
I’d sell him mine for $!,000,000.00.
A garage or a lovely storage room in South San Jose
Here’s a charming property.

Nice condo, only 825K.
He can afford half that (~ 3*150k).
So if he had a wife making same, and a little equity from a previous hovel maybe, he could get into the condo.
Unfortunately condo’s don’t go up as fast as SFD’s so he’s basically gonna be stuck there until maybe his own income goes up.
Note this condo sold in 1997 for $232K.
Sorry, I am much less generous than Yang.
A bit of a Scrooge really.
Actually, I like the idea of a politician who would actually have to live on their salary. President Trump is exceptional in many ways, but really I have no issue with someone of either party having to actually worry about a personal budget like a normal person.
He will after cashing in his coffers.
So I have more net worth than Yang and also make more than Yang annually.
Not to sound elitist but why should I listen to him?
You probably make more than Harry Truman did in the 1940’s.
RE: Sorry, I am much less generous than Yang.
Yang is generous ... WITH OTHER PEOPLE’s MONEY.
Harry Truman had some accomplishments as well as held political office prior to the Presidency. What has Yang done except giving speeches?
