Lurch can't afford it either. He is from the poor side of the family. Any money he appears to have is from marriages with his wives controlling the purse strings.
Kerry was a kept man, basically a gigolo always looking through plate glass windows at his wealthy relatives. Poor little liberal rich boy. A fake at everything.
Yeah—the article should have said “his wife’s family”, not “his family”.
I interacted with the guy over the years, and as big a jerk as everyone thinks he is—he is much much worse.
My view, fwiw, is that he was a CIA agent during the Vietnam era and his “Vietnam Veterans against the War” group was a honeypot.
If his leftist supporters ever figured that out they would be storming the beachfront property.
My son’s fiancé worked as Kerry’s finance director in Boston when he ran for the US Senate. I visited them in D.C. after Kerry elected. She told me the’d love to run him for president but couldn’t because he was out every night with a different woman.
“He isn’t married,” I said. “Why shouldn’t he go out?’
“BECAUSE THEY’RE UNDERAGE GIRLS.”
And then he met Teresa Heinz, alcoholic widow of owner of Heinz Foods who had left her a billionaire. Remember how quickly she became Teresa Heinz Kerry? And how quickly she disappeared from public life? Life in various high-end addiction facilities. I don’t know whether John is back at the underage girls, but her lawyer was probably savvy enough to put a clause in their prenup.
But he does have access to a huge pile of $$ if he can —avert your eyes, everyone—keep his pants on.
