Leave it to you, Cov, to help me out here. Payback - the original bitch.
2011 was a very good year for Chelsea.
Married.
Got the basic no-show $600,000 job at NBC.
Apointed to Board of Directors of Clinton Foundation.
Easy peasey $1,000,000 annual income.
IIRC the young Hubbell couple bought their first apt in the Flatiron Building that year as well. As a NYC-er you know that income is more important than assets in such deals. Fame of course helps, even second hand at times.
Of course now they have that $10 million plus pied-a-terre which will require her decorating imprint, costs unknown.
The only surprise is that Chels has become highly visible just at this moment.
