Dude makes $150k a year and owns 11 homes, 3 condos, a plot of land in Hawaii. Some of those condos he bought were deeded to an address of some woman.
Where did that money come from?
Pay him and he'll tell you.
Maybe he's a magical pinata and if we hit him money will come out.
There's really only one way to find out...
I wish that money went even a quarter of that far
Usually rich people's money comes from intergenerational wealth. So probably it came from his parents.
Sounds like he made his first $1m from an investment. Then he moved it all into a blind trust that might not have been blind while he went into politics .
The New York Times’ latest reporting advanced the story, noting the apparent fact that the Republican Senate hopeful, despite making $153,000 a year as attorney general, “recently bought three condominiums at a luxury resort in Utah.” From the article:
Mr. Paxton, 63, purchased the condos, worth a total of $1.6 million, in February, according to local property records, and transferred them to his blind trust. On the deeds, Mr. Paxton listed his address as a Dallas-area home. Police records indicate a woman who is not his wife lives there.
“A woman who is not his wife”. lol
Wtf?
Fucking pigs
I would expect that every multimillionare owns several homes. Why is this shocking? If I was so rich, I'd invest in real estate too.
Billionares meanwhile probably own hundreds of homes. And farms. And other forms of real estate investments
