"TUESDAY, JUN 20, 2000 9:00 AM UTCIs that a mansion?
Uh, 14,000 sq ft?
Yeah, I'd say so.
It looks like a somewhat Victorian-style house, which tended to be on the big side...seeing that it's in New England it probably is.
I know an older couple that owns an old house that size, they make about 100,000 a year combined.
Rev. Jones makes a tad more than that.
{Nader told the Post he believes hes made between $13 million and $14 million over the course of his career; and according to his just-released financial disclosure statement he is worth at least $3.8 million. Even more striking, much of that wealth is invested in a small group of high-flying tech stocks such as Cisco Systems, Comcorp, Iomega and Ziff-Davis. }

Ralph Nader: Millionaire hypocrite..."
Couldn't find any less current numbers?
Maybe the Koch brothers can help...
"So is Nader a hypocrite for amassing a personal fortune while advocating consumer rights and railing against corporate power?
"In a word, no.
"To think otherwise would be to buy into the common but thoroughly fallacious argument that pursuing public service and advocacy is somehow incompatible with making a good living. Under this reasoning, someone with no social conscience can make millions upon millions of dollars and still be in the clear, but someone with a social conscience is a hypocrite unless he or she lives like a monk..."
"But even with the fortune Nader has managed to accumulate, he also appears to have donated enough of his personal wealth to the various public advocacy organizations he’s founded to get around any charge of hoarding.
"Nader told the Post he gives away more than 80 percent of his after-tax income and noted, as an example, the fact that he used $500,000 of his own money to fund the Congress Project in 1972."
