Michael Moore and wife Kathleen Glynn have a few things to figure out as they prepare for divorce court in Michigan next month.
Chief among them: What to do with a lakefront mansion that Moore contends his wife wasted millions on, which in turn led to negative headlines about the famously liberal filmmaker like Moores $2M hypocrite house and Massive Michigan Vacation Mansion Beyond 99 Percents Wildest Dreams.
The Smoking Gun has all the details and the documents from the divorce case, including an interesting tidbit about Hollywood super-agent Ari Emanuel being called as a witness. Hes the brother of Rahm Emanuel, who is currently Chicagos mayor and served as President Obamas chief of staff from 2009 to 2010.
While the split could be contentious, whats really interesting are hints about the actual net worth of the high-profile supporter of Occupy Wall Street:
The couples real estate holdings include a total of nine properties in Michigan and New York. The duo co-owns a Manhattan condo that was created through the combination of three separate units.
While the couples combined assets are likely worth tens of millions of dollars, court records do not contain specific valuations for their property.

(59 posts)I do not even understand the article. There is a question about Michael Moore being a hypocrite - why, because he has money but still cares about the poor and working class. I guess if you have money you are not allowed to care about the 99%. Shame on them for even asking the question. Michael Moore has money because he earned it period and good for him.

I got dinged debating with a conservative once because I took a deduction on my taxes. Same argument more or less.

If so, then we'd better hop in a time machine, go back, and drum FDR and JFK out of the party before they can do any damage.
