Despite being a self-described socialist and a scourge of the elite classes, Bernie Sanders is in fact a millionaire with a property portfolio that includes three homes, which are pictured in exclusive DailyMail.com photos.
The 78-year-old Vermont senator’s property portfolio was mocked by presidential candidate Mike Bloomberg during Wednesday night’s debate, as he remarked: “The best known socialist in the country happens to be a millionaire with three houses. What did I miss?”
“You missed that I work in Washington; house one,” responded Sanders. “I live in Burlington; house two. And like thousands of other Vermonters, I do have a summer camp. Forgive me for that. Where is your home; which tax haven do you live in?”
Sanders, who has taken the lead in the recent national polls in the race, has had to defend his health, his ability to beat President Trump in November and now his estimated net worth of $2.5 million. […]
He owns a main residence in Burlington, Vermont, a one bedroom pied-à-terre in Washington, D.C. that’s just a half-mile walk from the Capitol Building and he most recently plopped down $575,000 in cash for a lakefront cabin complete with a guest cottage in North Hero Island, Vermont in the summer of 2016. […]
Although the 99-year-old wooden camp house on an island in the middle of Lake Champlain is nondescript compared to many of its neighbors, it’s the way Sanders and his second wife Jane bought the home that has ignited controversy. They scooped up the property soon after Burlington College — where Jane was a former president — was forced to close due to debts. …

'Course, he was privy to all sorts of insider information so that shouldn't've been very tough to do.
Another talker not a walker
He should be living in a dinky 2 bedroom apartment in a building that resembles a soviet block.
What a phoney
I like how he calls his beach front estate a “camp”, when people think of camp they think of a wooden shack or a trailer out in the woods someplace. Not a 650K beach from estate.
The rumor is the lake house was a bribe to keep him quiet about the theft of the nomination in 2016, when Hillary and the DNC clearly stole it.
Oh, well if one was his “summer camp”, who could say anything about that?
The lakefront cabin was a payoff from the DNC/Hillary Campaign for dropping out of the 2016 race.
Bernie, isn't he the one that lived with his parents into his 30's? And his first job ever was as mayor of some small town? That Bernie?
Well it is common for the Nomenklatura to live rich, they are the rulers that the Proletariat must serve in exchange for the Nomenklaturas governing wisdom.
The homeless should all set up camps outside of these places
Most of the Bernie Bros at that time were so upset with Bernie about the sell-out, that I thought he was finished. I am somewhat surprised he’s doing as well as he is this time around.
Bernie, you bastard. You are living high off the hog and have not had a real job. So stop taking my money to finance your three homes. I have only 1. I have only 1 car. I don’t have armed secret service agents at my side. I don’t have an exemption from Obamacare rules.
Okay, fine. But there’s still upkeep, taxes, utilities and other costs associated with homeownership. Unless he’s renting the place out. Maybe it’s an AirBnB?
Washington is no longer about lawmaking, it’s about moneymaking for the elites!
The Democrats have understood this for decades. Look how rich Bernie, Pelosi, Biden, Kerry, Obama, and Feinstein became while in congress or the Executive Branch..
Commissar Sanders needs three houses but the rest of us only need one deodorant.
So he receives tax revenue from us to pay his taxes on his property, in addition to his book royalties and whatever else.
Speaking of which, have any of the lying dog-faced, horse-faced lesbian pony soldier demonicRAT candidates other than Bloomberg ever held a job in the private sector or owned a business?
I’d like to see what might happen if I plunked downover half a million in CASH on anything...
GREAT
