"Actually, it's his wife's late husband."
Yep...her late REPUBLICAN husband!
Kerry is rich until she dumps him!
That's what the last wife did and he lived in an apartment and drove a used car.
Think that INCLUDES his "offshore" stuff, and 'trusts'?
How did McCain get so rich?
He married very well.
Just like his good friend John Kerry.
While Kohl's family started the business, they sold out long before the company became the operation it is today. Most of his money came from real estate.
If anything, these numbers understate net worth. The numbers for Herb Kohl have to be off by a factor of two. He has $200 million in equity in the Milwaukee Bucks, which he purchased for under $20 million. That doesn't count his real investments.
I remember (wink). I was on Hannity's board alot during the 2004 election and was one of the biggest Kerry detractors and 'opposition diggers' on there...LOL
Kerry actually made me more sick than Bill Clinton (if that is possible)!!
And Hard Work it must be.
Kerry actually made me more sick than Bill
Me too!
Being in NH we have watched this gigilo for years.
Just how many millions do the Clintons have, and how did they get it??????
Kohl, Rumsfeld, and Cheney: I don't mind them because I know that they earned their own money before they came to DC. The others either got rich off of insider deals in DC, or they got money from their spouses or parents. Either way they didn't earn it themselves, so they don't know what it means to work for a living.
they include Rumsfeld as a "politician", but leave off Clinton who shares a net worth with her hubby of several hundred millions
Just asking, how did the Clintons get all the money, and how much do they have
corruption, kickbacks, etc, of course
latest estimates as a couple are about 400+ million. I think her "admission" for Senate rules is about 100 million.
His second and current wife, Cindy, IIRC is an heir to a beer distributing fortune.
Also, does anybody know where Lincoln Chaffee got his money? I'm surmising it's inherited.
LOL! Dan Akyroyd did do a good Bob Dole impression.
Chafee = idle rich old money.
