Can someone tell me where Biden got his money? (Enough, apparently, to live in a fabulous “compound”)

The MSM bio goes like this:

—Son of a poor boiler repairman, lived in scrappy neighborhoods.
—Catholic schools, university, law school grad.
—Worked 2 years as lawyer/public defender, elected to city council.
—Married, 3 kids, wife died in auto accident.
—4 yrs after law school, elected to Senate.
—Remarried a teacher.

The bios don’t say anything about a continuing law practice. First wife is not reported to have been wealthy.

So: he became wealthy as a senator? How does that work? (rhetorical, of course). But, seriously, how did he become wealthy enough to live in such luxury?

Oh, you know, the usual. Bribes from lobbyists. Mobster connections. Foreign government (enemies of the USA) contributions to "Re-election Campaigns". Lot's of cash from the driveby's for appearing on a million Sunday talk shows!

And I am (at least partially) serious.

All that is in the fine print of the non-disclosure non- statement.

Biden reportedly commutes from DC to Wilmington by AMTRAK; saves on chaffeur and gas. So, by untilizing one of the worst managed government funded operations, he prospers, personally and politically. Then, he also can tap his unused campaign funds for offices in each of his homes, and on and on.

I’ve been wondering the same exact thing! That compound looks very rich. Thanks to Deo Volente, there’s this:

NO mention of his mortgages, real estate market value, etc. Let me know if it leads you to any info I don’t see.
