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.

Someone on DummyU dared criticize this bloated hypocrite and got attacked by all the rest of the Dummy denizens. Because good old Mikey was attacking all the OTHER! rich people. You know, all those one percenters. Unlike Mikey (who according to all the lefties is not a one percenter), they’re all greedy, rapacious capitalists. I swear, that’s what those nuts are saying.
Oh, don’t you dare call Mikey a hypocrite. All the nuts at DummyU think he’s wonderful. He stands up for the little people. He attacks all the rich corporations. Mikey is not like those nasty, rich Republicans. Those dopes don’t realize that’s how Mikey got rich...by gulling those suckers into seeing his movies and buying his books.
Of course you are correct, Mikey is not like those nasty, rich Republicans.
Most of the Republicans had to work for a living.
Mikey LIES for a living.
“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. “
You are right. I remember this philosophy being taught over and over again in school. The only class that didn’t teach this was when I took a business class. I was very surprised at the things they told me in that class that I had never heard in all my other classes at school.
Sounds like a good idea. Gotta spread the wealth and all....
