Denise Rich, the wealthy socialite and former wife of pardoned billionaire trader Marc Rich, has given up her U.S. citizenship - and, with it, much of her U.S. tax bill.

Rich, 68, a Grammy-nominated songwriter, top Democratic donor and glamorous figure in European royalty circles, renounced her American passport in November, according to her lawyer.

Her maiden name, Denise Eisenberg, appeared in the Federal Register on April 30 in a quarterly list of Americans who renounced their U.S. citizenship and permanent residents who handed in their green cards.

Taxes are for the “Little People.”

BJ Clinton made a lot of money off POTUS pardons, but that won’t even be the sales tax on the amount Baraq scoots off with.

Normally, I wouldn’t wish cancer on anyone, but I might make an exception in her case.

Typical Leftist hypocrite. Avoiding the ‘penalties’ they vote for and foist on others but not themselves.

It’s scary to think about what a petulant angry BO will do if he is rejected in November. I imagine he will empty out GITMO.....

"Former husband Marc Rich fled the country when indicted on charges of tax evasion - but was pardoned by President Clinton in 2001"...after significant contributions were made to the DNC through asst Attorney General Eric Holder who wrote the pardon recommendation.

I imagine he will empty out GITMO.....

Thereby creating a target rich environment.

This woman is 68???

While I'm certain she's one of the ugliest women on earth on the inside, the outside is quite impressive. Hats off to her plastic surgeon(s).

Liberal DemocRats surrendering their US citizenship to avoid taxes.

Who is the woman in the mask, second from the left?

[nascarnation]

I agree.

She has spent (at least part) of her billions wisely.

Certainly wisely enough to get her ex a pardon from BJ.

"Who is the woman in the mask, second from the left?"

Liza Minelli .. in her skinnier days ...

[EQAndyBuzz]

Who is the one on the left next to Denise?

[BenLurkin]

Is she related to the crimnal named Rich who was pardoned by the Sink Emporer in his last days in office?

[dead]

For decades, she's been a major fundraiser for the big tax, big spend Democratic Party.

She drilled the holes in the bottom of the ocean liner, then was one of the first to jump in a life boat.

Whose the guy with the Halloween mask between Hillary and Rich?
