After Lying About His Wealth on National TV, Michael Moore Admits He's A One Percenter - Net Worth of over $50 MILLION

'Anti-Capitalist' Filmmaker Michael Moore Owns Nine Homes

I’m so sick of these hypocrites. Michael Moore says he hates capitalism. He’s apparently for income equality. He opposes the two-facedness of American politics and religion. But Michael Moore has gotten rich off of his anti-capitalistic message. Like many leftists, he preaches one thing but can’t live it personally:





Moore first bought the property with an average size home on it at around 2,500 square feet. Not satisfied living like the 99%, he promptly bought up the two surrounding lots to expand. Now in his sprawling vacation lodge, he fits right in with the million dollar vacation homes of his fellow 1% celebrity neighbors, such as Madonna, Bruce Willis and ex-Chrysler Chairman Bob Eaton (A person Occupy supporters particularly hate), to name a few.
It's reported that he has another piece of property in Manhattan in the 7-figure range as well. That home still remains a mystery, kinda like the bat cave. Because every time he steps out he throws on his 99% superhero disguise to hide his massive wealth, which consists solely of a random old baseball hat.

According to the Detroit News, anti-capitalism “everyman” filmmaker Michael Moore owns 9 homes. On top of a $2 million, 10,000 square foot lakefront mansion in Torch Lake, Michigan, there is a Manhattan condo that was once 3 condos, and 7 other properties. Moore’s secret role as a land baron was revealed in divorce papers.

This is just another in a long line of self-proclaimed social crusaders whose public pretensions of approachability are completely undermined by the private realities of their elitism and decadence.

Leftists are all about helping the poor and providing healthcare and all the rest, as long as they are talking about your money. Michael Moore doesn’t hate capitalism. He just hates your capitalism.

Because Michael Moore is different. Michael Moore is in a class of his own. He’s part of the elite. He’s a member of the untouchable aristocracy of philosopher kings that tell the rest of us the Phoenician tales we need to believe in order to be good citizens of his socialist utopia. Nope. Not buying it.

As Schweizer told MSNBC's Joe Scarborough on November 3, 2005:

PETER SCHWEIZER: Well, Michael Moore has said at least half-a-dozen times, I don`t own a single share of stock, because he considers investing in the stock market to be dirty money.

Well, I guess he is technically correct. He doesn`t own a single share of stock. He owns tens of thousands of shares of stock. And what is interesting is, is looking at the portfolio.

Michael Moore, yes, the same Michael Moore, owns shares in defense contractors like Boeing. He owns...

(CROSSTALK)

JOE SCARBOROUGH: No. Well, hold -- hold on. No way. You are telling me...

SCHWEIZER: Yes.

SCARBOROUGH: ... that Mr. "Fahrenheit 9/11" profits off of the war, because Boeing profits off the war, that he despises?

SCHWEIZER: Yes, that`s exactly right. He owns shares in Honeywell.

And, believe it or not, Joe -- it`s on the back cover of the book -- he, in recent years, has owned shares in Halliburton, the Darth Vader of corporate America.

SCARBOROUGH: OK. Hold on. I got to stop you, Peter...

(LAUGHTER)

SCARBOROUGH: ... because this guy said that he doesn`t invest on Wall Street. Are you telling me that he just is just lying to us?

SCHWEIZER: It`s a flat, bald-faced lie. When he says that he doesn`t own shares, I pulled IRS forms from a tax shelter of his. And he has hundreds of thousands of dollars on the stock market.

Right now, for example, he is preparing a film on pharmaceutical companies, attacking the health care industry. In recent years, he has owned shares in Tenet Healthcare, which runs HMOs, Pfizer, and Eli Lilly. He is a complete hypocrite on this front.

SCARBOROUGH: And we have got to go to a break, and I want to talk to you on the other side.

But, just before we go to the break, are you telling me again that Michael Moore has owned stock in Halliburton?

SCHWEIZER: Yes. That`s what his IRS forms -- and he signed his own IRS forms.

So Moore's own IRS forms show that one of his tax shelters owns thousands of shares of stock.

But that's not what he wrote Thursday: "I made the decision that I would never buy a share of stock (I didn't understand the casino known as the New York Stock Exchange and I did not believe in investing in a system I did not agree with)."

As such, he's lying again.

Also of note, Moore discussed the $3 million he made from Roger and Me, but he didn't say a word about earnings from subsequent films.

As our friends at Celebrity Net Worth note:

Fahrenheit 911 raked in $230 million in theaters and another $3 million in DVD sales. After the theaters take their traditional 50% cut, that leaves roughly $130 million. Take away marketing, production and distribution expenses and Moore is conservatively left with $80 million. Moore was able to secure a deal from Miramax which guaranteed him 27% of his film’s net revenues, or roughly $21.6 million. Michael also was entitled to 50% of the profits of Sicko which are estimated to be $17 million.

Moore didn't discuss any of this in his piece Thursday, nor did he mention his current net worth is $50 million.

I guess he's not interested in telling the whole truth yet.
