"One of the
premier institutions of big business, JP Morgan Chase, issued
an internal report on the eve of the 10th anniversary of the 2008
crash, which warned that another “great liquidity crisis”
was possible, and that a government bailout on the scale of that
effected by Bush and Obama will produce social unrest, “in light of
the potential impact of central bank actions in driving
inequality between asset owners and labor."

system, Democrat and Republican alike, has become a kleptocracy

“Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible government
owing no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people. To
destroy this invisible government, to befoul the unholy alliance between
corrupt business and corrupt politics is the first task of the statesmanship of

Jim Carrey: America ‘Doomed’ If We Don’t Regulate Capitalism"
The American phenomenon of record stock values fueling an ever greater concentration of wealth at the very top of society, while the economy is starved of productive investment, the social infrastructure crumbles, and working class living standards are driven down by entrenched unemployment, wage-cutting and government austerity policies, is part of a broader global process."
The father of US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin just
completed the most expensive purchase of a living artist’s work in
US history, spending over $91 million on a three-foot-tall metallic
sculpture. Ken Griffin, the founder of hedge fund Citadel,
recently dropped $238 million on a penthouse in New York City, the
most expensive US home ever purchased. And Amazon’s Jeff Bezos,
the world’s richest man, has invested $42 million in a 10,000-year
clock.
Decades of decaying capitalism have led to this accelerating
divide. While the rich accumulate wealth with no restriction, workers’ wages
and benefits have been under increasing attack. In 1979, 90 percent of the
population took in 70 percent of the nation’s income. But, by 2017, that fell
to only 61 percent.
"This is how they will destroy America from within. The
leftist billionaires who orchestrate these plans are wealthy. Those tasked
with representing us in Congress will never be exposed to the
cost of the invasion of millions of migrants. They have nothing
but contempt for those of us who must endure the consequences of our
communities being intruded upon by gang members, drug dealers and
human traffickers. These people have no intention
of becoming Americans; like the Democrats who welcome them, they have
contempt for us." PATRICIA McCARTHY
In 2014 the Russell Sage Foundation found that between 2003
and 2013, the median household net worth of those in the United States fell
from $87,992 to $56,335—a drop of 36 percent. While the rich also saw their
wealth drop during the recession, they are more than making that money back.
Between 2009 and 2012, 95 percent of all the income gains in the
US went to the top 1 percent. This is the most distorted post-recession income
gain on record.

As I’ve often mentioned, one of my favorite perhaps crackpot but also perhaps legit theories is French leftist economist Thomas Piketty’s claim that his famous equation r > g proves that the Forbes Magazine lists of billionaires have to be wrong because there must be far more old money billionaires, while the Forbes lists are dominated by fairly recent wealth. Piketty suspects there are vast hidden fortunes passed down through the generations that Forbes isn’t finding.
Even though Piketty’s book Capital in the 21st Century was a huge bestseller, few else seemed to pay much attention to the most glamorous and intriguing idea in the whole book. I, however, immediately started thinking about how we could find this wealth. For example, what about using Google Earth to look for evidence of palatial estates? For example, golf courses are instantly recognizable from the air, so personal golf courses are readily visible on Google.

I, however, immediately started thinking about how we could find this wealth. For example, what about using Google Earth to look for evidence of palatial estates? For example, golf courses are instantly recognizable from the air, so personal golf courses are readily visible on Google.
Here’s a NYT article on Jeff Bezos spending $165 million on a Beverly Hills estate plus nearby 9 digit properties that’s relevant to the Piketty Theory: Just about everybody involved in owning these properties is famous, most track their fortunes back no further than the 20th Century, backyard golf courses seem to be a dying breed, and, by implication, only trashy Russian oligarchs really like all the steel and glass boxes that have been built on spec in the Hollywood Hills in recent years.
The Amazon leader reached a deal for the Warner Estate in Beverly Hills with David Geffen, who has owned it since 1990.By Candace Jackson, Feb. 14, 2020The national housing market has cooled, but in Los Angeles the ultrarich are still shattering price records. An heiress to the Formula One racing empire sold her home for $119.75 million last July. In December, Lachlan Murdoch paid $150 million for a home in Bel Air.The latest buyer at the top: Jeff Bezos, the Amazon chief and world’s richest person.Setting a new high for a home sold in California, Mr. Bezos is paying $165 million for a Beverly Hills estate owned by David Geffen, the media mogul and co-founder of DreamWorks, according to two people familiar with the purchase.That wasn’t all. In a separate transaction, Bezos Expeditions, which oversees The Washington Post and Mr. Bezos’ charitable foundation, is buying 120 undeveloped acres in Beverly Hills for $90 million, the two people said. The land was put on the market for $150 million in 2018 by the estate of Paul Allen, the Microsoft co-founder, who died that year….The superrich are spending huge amounts for some of California’s premier properties. Mr. Murdoch, chief executive of the Fox Corporation, bought Chartwell, which TV viewers of a certain age may remember as the Clampetts’ home in “The Beverly Hillbillies.” Petra Ecclestone, whose father, Bernie Ecclestone, ran Formula One for more than 40 years, sold the Manor. The television producer Aaron Spelling had built the mansion, in the city’s Holmby Hills neighborhood, in 1988.For Mr. Bezos, it was the Warner Estate, which was designed in the 1930s for Jack Warner, the president of the Warner Bros. film studio. The roughly 13,000-square-foot home is considered one of the premier mansions built during Hollywood’s golden era.… The Georgian Revival-style estate was designed for hosting the Warners’ elaborate parties, with guests like Albert Einstein and Howard Hughes.The property also included a nine-hole golf course, which Mr. Geffen removed when he renovated the grounds, Mr. Hyland said in an interview.
David Geffen doesn’t like golf. I wonder why?
A home next door also had a nine-hole course, allowing the Warners and their neighbors to play 18 holes right in the middle of Beverly Hills.
That was the Harold Lloyd Estate, built by the silent movie comedy star. It’s now owned by financier Ron Burkle, who likes to buy and restore houses with a lot of entertainment industry history, such as Bob Hope’s houses in Toluca Lake and Palm Springs.
Both backyard golf courses are no longer visible on aerial photos. My estimate is that the number of personal golf courses in Southern California is around only a half dozen — e.g., Oracle founder Larry Ellison is in the news for announcing a Trump fundraiser at his personal golf course in the Palm Springs area. There’s one out in some canyons near Zuma Beach whose owner is unknown to me, but most of the others were built by well-known individuals: Bob Hope, Walter Annenberg, Jerry Perenchio and the like.
The Warner Estate, whose sale to Mr. Bezos was reported earlier by The Wall Street Journal, stands out from the speculatively built glass-box homes that have flooded the local market…. “Everybody today would like to see classical architecture,” Mr. Hyland said. “They want substance. They want acreage.” He said he and his business partner, Rick Hilton, had the most expensive current listing in the area, the $225 million Conrad Hilton estate, which is on eight and a half acres in Bel Air.
So not much evidence for Hidden Old Money from the Beverly Hills real estate market. But where does the Hidden Old Money congregate? And let’s see the aerial photos!
By the way, showing the utility of aerial photos for identifying the rich, another Beverly Hills house has a backyard full size basketball court decked out in the colors of the Detroit Pistons. So I looked up the owner of the Pistons. He’s an interesting first generation self-made man, a Greek-Lebanese Catholic born Tewfiq Georgious in Nazareth who grew up in Michigan, then made it big in business in Los Angeles.

Jeff Bezos threw a lavish party at his finally completed Washington DC mansion attended by Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, Microsoft founder Bill Gates and actor Ben Stiller.
The Amazon founder purchased the $23million Washington mansion in 2016 and it underwent three years of renovations and construction. The 27,000-square-foot home is tucked in the city's wealthy Kalorama district near the residences of former President Barack Obama and the Trump-Kushner family.
Bezos invited his high-flying friends to his home after they attended the annual, exclusive Alafalfa Club Dinner in DC.

Lauren Sanchez also attended her beau's lavish soiree but neither she nor Bezos were spotted by cameras after entering a gated area in their new estate. The party comes on the heels of a stark revelation in their text-leaking scandal.
On Friday federal prosecutors in Manhattan revealed they have evidence indicating that Bezos' girlfriend Sanchez provided dirty text messages with Bezos to her brother that he then sold to the National Enquirer for an explosive story on the Amazon founder's affair.
Prosecutors have obtained documents including a May 10, 2018 text message sent from the phone of Bezos' girlfriend Lauren Sanchez to her brother Michael Sanchez, containing her intimates texts with Bezos, the Wall Street Journal reported.
The Journal said it had reviewed the text messages as well as a $200,000 payment Michael Sanchez received from the Enquirer under an October 2018 contract.

Plans: This diagram of the property shows the building and gardens which were described as 'beautiful' and 'astonishing' by people who have seen them
Addition: Floor plans for the property include a media room with 'tiered seating'. Bezos will use the property as an East Coast base to go with other properties around the country
Detailed: One construction expert remarked that the project appeared to be 'in the home stretch' with work now focusing on details such as light fittings
Extensive: The work is turning the property into Washington's largest home, with 11 bedrooms, 25 bathrooms, five living rooms, two kitchens and two libraries
Prosecutors obtained the documents in an ongoing investigation into Bezos' allegation that the Enquirer tried to extort him by threatening to publish his nude pictures, as well as whether his phone was hacked. Bezos himself has long pushed the suggestion that Saudi Arabia was involved as the Enquirer's source.
In addition to the photo and text-leaking scandal, Bezos' investigators said this week that the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia had sent malicious code in a WhatsApp message that compromised the cell phone of Bezos.
But, Saudi Arabia denies hacking Bezos' phone.
The Enquirer claims that Michael Sanchez was their source for the bombshell story that revealed Bezos' affair, while Michael Sanchez denies he had anything to do with it.
