Al Gore is richer and skinnier than ever, 14 years out of the White House, a tech titan with elder statesman clout, whose disdain for politics in the capital where he lived most of his life has only grown with each year he’s lived away from it. Sure, this new Gore has a great life, what with a net worth well over the $200 million mark following the sale of his Current TV network to Al Jazeera last year, that seat on the Apple board and his starring roles with two investment companies that tout their environmentally friendly business styles: London-based Generation Investment Management and Silicon Valley’s Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers. He lives well too, between his 20-room, $4 million home in Nashville’s tony Belle Meade neighborhood and a separate apartment in San Francisco’s St. Regis luxury hotel residences.
But even in his fabulously wealthy, I’m-not-a-Washingtonian-anymore phase, Gore is still a policy wonk, of course. He may be a trendy, 50-pound-lighter vegan these days, and wear the all-black uniform of the Silicon Valley gurus who have become his peers.

Elder statesman my eye and rich through lies and flim flam, no matter how much weight he may lose he will always be a FATHEAD!
He has an apartment in SF. I’m not surprised. The guy is as queer as a three dollar bill.
It’s hard to tell which is more boring. The Goreacle or the article? Let’s call it a draw.
Time was I’d post one of those sarcastic graphics here...
They it hit me: Why bother, since the next bit of press coverage this moron will generate will be his obit, as we have more important things to do.
How ignorant can the author be? The media beats the global warming drum 24/7.
Billionaires don’t give up. He thinks his net worth proves he’s the smartest guy on the planet.
BTW, he calls a blow job “clearing his chakra”.
SUPER Genius.
In the land that Gore inhabits truth and science have no impact on the desire for acquisition of personal wealth ... nor on the lies that need to be voiced to keep the spigot flowing.
Seems to be doing well, for him self. Good.
Is he still burning Frank Zappa and Twisted Sister records?
The plan is to kill off the fly-over breeders and the brown people who inhabit the tropical paradises, and spray for malaria and move the beautiful people into those areas. But what they do not realize is the breeders and the brown people keep us fed and do all the heavy lifting.
Gore is a political troll and a false prophet looking for the fast profit.
I couldn’t get past “tech titan”.
