Inside the Elizabeth Warren merchandising empire
The Massachusetts senator is at the center of a sprawling business.
Prayer candles. Action figures. Temporary tattoos. Coloring books.
Elizabeth Warren isn’t just a progressive icon, she’s a merchandising industry unto herself.
The campaign says it has sold 20,000 of the T-shirts alone — and, at $24.99 a pop, that comes out to almost a half-million dollars. It has already sold out of temporary tattoos and pink hats with white “Nevertheless, she persisted,” stitching, also priced at $24.99 and marketed specifically for Mother’s Day.
Warren’s campaign wouldn’t disclose the specific amount of tattoos and hats produced but said that together, it was a “couple thousand.”
The widest range of Warren-inspired swag, however, is sold by private vendors. A quick Web search for “she persisted” yields roughly 5,400 results on Etsy and 33,000 on Amazon, with items for sale including bracelets, bodysuits, coffee mugs, laptop decals, signs, portraits, cross-stitch patterns, phone cases, coasters and wine glasses, among other things.
Inside the Elizabeth Warren merchandising empire
According to CNN, in 2015 Warren’s average net worth, including her $5 million home, retirement accounts and mutual funds, was $8.75 million.
However in the lead up to the 2012 Senate race, her Personal Financial Disclosure form puts this number much higher – at $14.5 million.
Tax returns show that while a professor at Harvard Warren earned a salary of $430,000 per year, and as Senator she now earns a salary of $174,000 per year. Additional income streams include royalties and an advance from various book deals.
Fun Fact: Elizabeth Warren has a $15 million net worth on a $174,000 senator’s salary. – InvestmentWatch
Two points stand out from the above:
A) Warren is a wealthy woman making money off hypocrisy of socialism.
B) Again how the biased MSM i.e. CNN protects their own...
"According to CNN, in 2015 Warren’s average net worth, including her $5 million home, retirement accounts and mutual funds, was $8.75 million."
YET before in 2012 her own disclosure said worth at $14.5 million! Why the discrepancy???
