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.
"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.
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.
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?
