Being paid under the table or via other means to report or not report “news” in particular ways. Else, he married well.
Looks like Fusion GPS may have been paying Tapped out.
Or it could be Soros.
George Soros & friends can be very generous to their sock puppets.
I would have expected Tapper to be making more than 300K per annum. I guess he’s not in Sean Hannity’s league.
He’s estimated to be worth 4 million.
I would guess that Tapper makes a great deal more than $300K now.
Telling lies is a profitable gig. Ask Me-again Kelly.
He is well known for dutifully reading his talking points. I’m sure he’s on the Fusion GPS payroll.
Money laundering.
Good for him. It’s not like he’s bilking taxpayers or running a crooked foundation.
Jake Tapper: the perfect person to “investigate” the unexplained wealth of DC swamp creature politicians.
Very nice house, but not a $4 million home.
> Just how does a television reporter making approximately $300K a year afford a $4 million plush suburban Washington D.C. estate? <
Maybe Jake Tapper has the same stock broker as does Hillary. Remember, Herself was able to turn $1000 into $100,000. Even Warren Buffett can’t do something like that!

Follow his money back to the Podesta’s or the Clinton Foundation.
Not buying it. Large-market local news anchors make more than $300k per year. I’d wager Tapper easily makes ten times (or more) than that.
IMAGINE THAT!
Re. Jake Tapper’s “family friend,” Marjorie Margolies-Mezvinsky.

Tapper had read in the newspaper that Margolies-Mezvinsky, a family friend, was running for Congress. He called the house, and she immediately invited him over.
“You know, when you think about a political campaign, you picture this giant, organized machine,” Tapper said. “I got over there, and it was just Marjorie and two women sitting there talking.”
Tapper helped her with speeches, planning events, and “fell into” working with the press. After her primary victory, he joined her staff full time, where he has gained a reputation for bombarding media outlets with forests of shiny fax paper.
“I was seeing the fax machine in the beginning, but it was never a serious relationship. I really fell in love with my fax modem,” he quips.
After the election, Tapper asked Margolies-Mezvinsky on a train ride to Washington if he could be her press secretary. She agreed.
Margolies-Mezvinsky says she has known Tapper “since he was in the womb” and sometimes has to remind herself not to act like a doting relative. But she says Tapper instantly proved his worth early on in the campaign with his resourcefulness combined with a healthy sense of humor.
“I can’t say enough nice things about him without sounding like his mother,” Margolies-Mezvinsky said. “I had been in the media for 25 years, and I had gotten dozens of calls from friends after I won who wanted to work as press secretary. When Jake came to me and said, ‘I want to go to Washington,’ it was crystal clear to me that, despite all these people I had worked with in the field, he would be wonderful here, he would be just fine.”

Looks like the fake news business is lucrative for Jake.
