Classic media bias. John Kerry's net worth is $750 million. Al Gore's net worth increased from $2 million in 2000 to over $100 million now after cashing in on Apple and Google board of directors seats. The Clinton's are worth over $80 million.

If depends on your state of residence.

In a state with no state income tax, you would get $260 million after taxes. But it would be much less in NY or California.

This article is full of cheap shots and jealousy dripping from its author. They can’t stand it when people work hard and earn and spend their own money

stay rich by spending other people’s money, not your own.

Obama is the master at this, Romney would have to defer to him for advice.

You hit the nail on the head....never a mention of Soros, Kennedy, Pelosi, Kerry...

I hate the Leftist, lying media.

I think we need to get another “Fox-like-but-not-owned-by-Saudis” conservative TV network. I know Kelsey Grammar started Right Network, but I think the cable carriers are slow to add any programming.

Washington Times
Washington Examiner
Fox
Talk Radio

The rest is unadulturated bullsh*t.

Is there any mega jackpot winner who has actually done anything which is long term useful with their money?

Most of them, we never hear about again unless they go broke or get in trouble with the law.

The total jackpot is $540m. That's a lot of bread!

Taxed at 100%, it would cover about 75 minutes of 2012 federal spending.

If they want to politicize the lotto, maybe they should mention how many minutes it takes the government to spend the mega millions or that 32,000 mega millions would be needed to pay off the national debt.

” but after various taxes, no cash payout has ever topped his wealth. Tonight’s cash option of an estimated $398.8 million “

Not only is the article very biased, but it is also written in ignorance. The cash option is pre-tax.....The $398.8 mentioned will still be taxxed as income by th estate and feds!
