Left-wing filmmaker Michael Moore is a strong supporter of the Occupy Wall Street movement, which protests the top “one percent” of richest Americans. At the same time, he is one of the richest people in the country. He is now selling his house in Michigan for $5.2 million and many think it’s pretty hypocritical he’s amassed so much wealth by criticizing capitalism — the very mechanism that allowed him to amass wealth. Insincere hypocrite?
The Daily Mail reports,
The filmmaker, who is well-known for courting controversy in his documentaries, has a sprawling seven-bedroom home in Upper Michigan near Traverse City.
The director chose to live close to the city which hosts the Traverse City Film Festival which he founded in 2005.
It’s one of the higher-end properties in the neighborhood, which has been known for having celebrity residents and visitors, including music artists Kid Rock and Eminem.Listing agent Nancy Albrecht told the New York Post that it has everything a buyer would want. ‘When you walk through the front door, it blows your mind. There are views from every room.’
‘It’s a beautiful house,’ Albrecht said. ‘Pictures really can’t show you all the property has to offer. It’s an upper-end property, and a lot of well-known celebrities are in the market.’
The 11,058-square-foot home includes an artist’s studio, library and mud room. There’s even a guesthouse alongside the home.
With all the suffering throughout the Obamaeconomy currently, it’s pretty said that Michael Moore lives like a king. But the left has never been known for its intellectual honesty, its mantra is typically “do what I say, not as I do.”
