McMansion Hell Tackles Betsy DeVos' 22,000-Square-Foot Summer Home
She's definitely not Secretary of the Interior
By Rain Noe - August 7, 2018
Enter a caption (optional)Core77 is a non-partisan rag, but when McMansion Hell's Kate Wagner goes after Betsy DeVos' 22,000-square-foot summer home, we can't not cover it. Because it's freaking funny.

Enter a caption (optional)"Two weeks ago, somebody untied Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos's $40 million yacht from its mooring," Wagner wrote in Vox. "It got me thinking about another opulent display of wealth owned by DeVos: her 22,000-square-foot nautical-themed summer mansion, located in Holland, Michigan. Just a few more years of climate change and it'll be floating too."
It appears this was a work-for-hire, meaning Vox owns these images, so we don't dare post more than the three we snagged here just to promote the piece. We recommend you click on over and check out all of it, and read Wagner's rationale while you're at it.

I’m a lapsed industrial designer. I was born in NYC and figured I’d die there, but a few years ago I abandoned New York to live on a farm in the countryside with my wife. We have six dogs.

McMansion Hell Tackles Betsy DeVos' 22,000-Square-Foot Summer Home
Rain, Your liberal bias and blowhard comments are neither refreshing nor clever. If you're so upset about someone having a big home, why aren't you aiming your snide comments at liberal democrats, too.
Georgetown and then Bernie Sanders who, shortly after ending his 2016 presidential bid, bought his third home, a $600,000 lakefront vacation house on Lake Champlain.Barack and Michelle have real estate designs of their own. Earlier this year it was revealed that upon his leaving the presidency the Obama's will not be returning to Chicago. They will instead be moving into a $6 million, 8,200-square foot, 9-bedroom 12-bathroom mansion in
Kalorama, one of the Washington District's most posh, desirable and exclusive neighborhoods in the heart of one of America's wealthiest zip codes. With daughter Malia off to college, that leaves just Barack, Michelle and Sasha until the younger daughter graduates high school in 2018."
Fred, your response is a typical defensive right wing response. The negative connotation to Betsy DeVoe isn’t her money, she comes from wealth and married into wealth. There are very few politicians that come from humble beginnings. A politician with money is no surprise to anyone, do you think they do it to change the world?
