Chelsea Clinton Buys A $10.5 Million Manhattan Apartment

[BethSucks]

Chelsea Clinton has a new apartment in New York.
The daughter of former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton recently purchased a $10.5 million apartment at the Whitman near Madison Square Park.


According to the Business Insider, Clinton’s new apartment features four bedrooms and 6.5 bathrooms over 5,000 square feet. There is also a living room and a 252 square foot outdoor terrace with a “sweeping view” of the park.
Chelsea and her husband Marc Mezvinsky closed on the apartment last month and they have already a visit from Chelsea’s parents.
A source said: “It’s great for them, because it is in a hot neighborhood and it is very private … There aren’t hundreds of neighbors, and there is great security.”
The Whitman is located at 21 East 26th Street and features one condo per floor. The building was constructed int eh 1920s and was incorporated into the Landmark Madison Park Historic District in 2001.
The Whitman writes: “The apartments are long and narrow, with all southern-facing living rooms looking out into the park. The master bedrooms are at the opposite end, facing 27th street.”

I'm sure she's worked incredibly hard to be able to afford it

[GaryPuppet]

Where the fuck did she get 10 million from?

Where the fuck did she get 10 million from?

Her husband is a hedge fund banker and she is a correspondent for NBC news with brian williams

Her salary at that job wouldn't even cover the earnest money.

Hillary and Bill get between $150,000 and $1 million for just one speaking engagement. That's one day of work. They don't even write the speeches....they just have someone draft one for a couple of grand and then pocket the rest. When you can pull in close to $10 million a year as a couple between speeches and consulting fees you can afford to give your kid a few million for a house. Especially when it keeps the family name relevant. They are flaunting their status and power. Not to mention that the Clinton's don't pay as much in taxes as the average working class family.

I think Bill Clinton made something like $82 million in under ten years just from speaking engagements. And lots of that money was made overseas where it wasn't taxed or hidden. And that's just speaking...factor in real estate, stocks, investments, 'consulting fees', and business acquisitions, and you're talking probably closer to $25 million a year for just letting people handle your money.

Chelsea doesn't need to work. But she married into money and works a high profile job. You've got to keep the family name and money going. The Clinton family envisions itself as a power dynasty like the Prescott-Bush or Kennedy names. They want their daughter to become the next president or a powerful world leader. She's being groomed for higher office. If you want to be president from the left wing you need to be a limousine liberal. A champagne socialist. Live a life of luxury but then tell the peons to use public transportation, use green appliances, don't eat meat, and so on.

She'll be the perfect senator in a few years.

"I want to ban soda...and guns...and video games for the children".
"I want to tax MLB and NFL and give the money to solar energy research".
"I think that the police should only be allowed to hire minorities".

Being President is guarantees you riches after you retire. Even your family can become rich by banking on the family name. Chelsea got in all the best schools and got all the best jobs based on her last name.

From her father, who wrote a best seller, and who gets $400,000 for a speech. (He get's that much for a speech because he doesn't end his questions with prepositions.)

Writing a book is the new way to make illegal campaign donations. I'm sure there are warehouses full of books that big donors purchases to funnel money to Bill and Hillary (and George and Obama). People literally buy 20,000 copies of a book and throw them out... a way of laundering their campaign contribution.

By the way, I have heard the regular folks at NBC news aren't exactly happy that she got that job a Network News job with NO experience. They basically hired her to buy access to her parents.

Her husband worked for Goldman Sachs and some hedge funds, he probably makes money shipping US jobs overseas to fatten profit margins for the rich.

we have friends whose son works for a hedge fund....needless to say, i always cringe when they brag about "how well he is doing". IMO, hedge funds rather than creating anything merely exist to shuffle money around.
they're sickening.

so chelsea (who used to work for a hedge fund) and her husband (who now does) can go fuck themselves. pathetic that these two very privileged people couldn't find something more productive or creative to do with their lives.

It always reminds me of the movie Wall Street when Martin Sheen says to Charlie, after he gets into trouble, that he can come back from the mess he made and do "something real."

Not that you're wrong in general but nevertheless that's still rich coming from someone who spent the entire election season raving about how wonderful Romney is, someone who built his wealth on dismantling and/or bloodletting vulnerable corporate acquisition targets to be flipped for huge profits or streamlined with a lot of the surviving jobs outsourced overseas.

you're an idiot & know nothing about what bain capital was about under romney except what your party told you to get elected.
calling you a moron is an understatement...

I know plenty about Bain. Aside from being a persuasive argument for condoms when siblings fuck, you calling anyone else an idiot is even more disingenuous than Kim Kardashian labeling some other bitch a "mudshark"

Hedge fund guys do really well when the economy is doing well, but when it tanks, their asses are out on the street.

Politicians from both parties sell out the American people to make a fortune. Something is very wrong with this country.
