I have no clues whatsoever where Biden got his money. which assumes Biden has a lot of money, which I don’t know is a fact.
As for his majestic “compound”....from what I saw on TV it looked like a house to me. A nice house but hardly a compound.
Now, does Biden have a lot of money? Senators make pretty good money....what, a hundred grand a year, something like that? Biden’s been a senator for thirty some years. seems to me one could wisely invest their money on that salary and have some funds.
So far as I know Biden’s never been involved in anything sneaky-snakey in terms of money but that’s so far as I know. Do not send me maps or quote from arcane textbooks.
If the question was meant to pry my memory for any local scandals involving Biden that I may know of, frankly and with all due respect, I know of none.
BTW, since I’m on a roll for being wrong today and the posse’s out to get me, I realize that I can drive to Merryland’s Assoteague Island way in a half an hour and THEN I would be but a hop, skip and jump from Virginia. So I have to go from Delaware, thru Merryland, before getting close to VA.
But Delaware does not border Virginia although I stick to my original contention that three states are very close to one another because.....
THAT’S WHY THE HELL THEY CALL IT the DELMARVA peninsula!
LOL ... I’m in no posse .. hahaha.
Just wondered, with all your knowledge of DE politics what you knew about his personal history.
This home .. and if you saw the TV coverage at the lead up to his leaving from there to the airport for his engagement to BO, you’d have seen . it’s quite a lovely spot .. and it did look like a compound to me with the long drive and possibly another home behind.
It looks like it backs up to a lake .. here’s the aerial view:

Not a cheap cottage.
His financial disclosure form is strangely bereft of any reference to mortgages, home/real estate valuations, etc., so something seems to not add up, especially since he’s among the poorest if not THE poorest senator.
