I think the most likely explanation is that Hillary gave her the cash. Nothing illegal about it as long as she paid taxes on the income.

If someone gifted her the money for the condo, then, with a top marginal tax rate of about 35%, for her to have cleared [after taxes] the $649,000 needed for the condo, the gift would have had to have been roughly:

[0.65] X GIFT = $649,000
GIFT = [$649,000] / [0.65]
GIFT = $998,461.54
I.e. if this was done on the up & up [at least as far as the IRS is concerned], then someone had to slip her a cool $1 MILLION!!!

You know, the IRS is supposed to have software which goes bananas and which sets off all kinds of alarms if it detects that people are living way beyond their means like this.

And, no - college professors in the humanities & the social sciences do NOT leave million-dollar inheritances to their children.

Hillary did SO EXTREMELY well “investing” ... what’s to say
she didn’t grease the wheels to get Huma a heads up from the many Clinton Wall Street friends on an IPO, insider stock info, etc.?
