Michael Moore's lavish property empire is revealed in court documents as he and wife of 22 years divorce

The filmmaker and his producer ex-wife Kathy Glynn called it quits after 22 years, with the divorce finalized on Tuesday at Antrim County Circuit Court in Bellaire, Michigan The pair own nine properties, with Moore splitting his time between Detroit and New York

And he seems to be aware of how he's perceived.

In legal proceedings, he listed six media reports from 2011, which poked fun at the defender-of-the-poor's lavish life with headlines like 'Mansion Begs The Question: Is Michael Moore A Hypocrite?' and 'Michael Moore's $2M Hypocrite House: Film Director Lives Like The 1% He Condemns.'

The couple met working at a biweekly newspaper Moore founded in the mid-70s and married in 1991 after nine years of dating.

Moore said that Glynn, who co-produced his earlier documentaries, stopped living in their Manhattan condo in 2004, though no reasons were given for that.

According to Celebritynetworth, Moore and Glynn are worth $50 million, much of his success coming from documentaries protesting capitalism.

Gary Tracy, owner of Bellaire Bait and Tackle told The Detroit News: 'He criticizes capitalism, but capitalism made him rich. Why he decided to live in this conservative area, I have no idea.'

Another neighbor said: 'He is not a common man. No way.'

It might be interesting to track down other Lefty “celebrities” like Jon Stewart (Liebowitz) to see what properties, yachts, ... they own to see what hypocrites they are.

“Moore and Glynn are worth $50 million,”.........

If Michigan has common-law, he is only worth half of that and when the blood sucking bottom feeders (lawyers to the un-initiated) get through, they will be worth MUCH less.

Poetic justice!

Michigan has a a No Fault divorce law. She gets 50% of everything they have.

He just decided to agree to those terms instead of wanting a hearing to publicly air all his assets and fight over them.

And he seems to be aware of how he's perceived.

"DO AS I SAY, not as I DO!!!! Now, fetch me ANOTHER cheeseburger!"

That's how I perceive him, anyway.

You can probably buy nine houses in Flint for around five hundred bucks at this point.
