According to the Detroit News, anti-capitalism "everyman" filmmaker Michael Moore owns 9 homes. On top of a $2 million, 10,000 square foot lakefront mansion in Torch Lake, Michigan, there is a Manhattan condo that was once 3 condos, and 7 other properties. Moore's secret role as a land baron was revealed in divorce papers:

The filmmaker, 60, who split his time between a home here and one in New York, is leaving his wife of 22 years, Kathy Glynn.

His hit movies and best-selling books have begat a lifestyle far from most ballcap-wearing, duck-waddling denizens of Flint.

Moore and Glynn own nine properties in Michigan and New York, including a Manhattan condo that once was three apartments. CelebrityNetWorth.com pegs their wealth at $50 million.

In legal pleadings, Moore blames his wife for the expansion of the 10,000-square-foot home on Torch Lake, which has a value of $2 million.

Gotta love how "anti-capitalism" propaganda is so damn profitable. Reminds me of the highly lucrative "che" T-shirts. Irony is gold.

Do rich leftists who constantly decry "the system" assume they are immune to the redistribution because they are the ones who "lead" the movement?

he isnt really anti capitalist, he is just anti big business/banking. there is a difference.

its pretty much impossible to not partake in our capitalist system in the US, its the system. How could you not spend money? buy things? its just not set up that way.

I'm shocked - not to learn that he owns 9 properties, but to know that some woman married that fat bag of shite.

When you say things like this...

Having a net worth of $50 million probably makes you look like a hypocritical frick stick.

With as much as that guy bitches about rich people and always puts the spotlight on the fledgling economy in his home state, you would think he could help pay some Detroit water bills.

I certainly seemed to matter to you leftists back in 2008, when you found out that John McCain had 7 houses.

Further, McCain did not base his career on demonizing successful people.

It certainly mattered to you guys when it came to McCain and Romney, and those two didn't spend their days bitching about wealth inequality.

Remember, Karl Marx was born to one of the wealthiest families in the region, and he never stepped foot in a factory.

For Romney - what actually mattered was the fact he hated poor people and the fact his supports government policy that allows wealthy people like him to pay a lower tax rate than most of the middle class.


You guys just don't get it. The idea isn't that rich people have too much - its that poor people and the middle class have TOO LITTLE.


As for McCain, I think this issue wasn't how many homes he owned - but that he wasn't paying the property taxes on them.
