Dude makes $150k a year and owns 11 homes, 3 condos, a plot of land in Hawaii. Some of those condos he bought were deeded to an address of some woman.
Where did that money come from?

Pay him and he'll tell you.

Maybe he's a magical pinata and if we hit him money will come out.

I wish that money went even a quarter of that far

Usually rich people's money comes from intergenerational wealth. So probably it came from his parents.

Sounds like he made his first $1m from an investment. Then he moved it all into a blind trust that might not have been blind while he went into politics .

I would expect that every multimillionare owns several homes. Why is this shocking? If I was so rich, I'd invest in real estate too.
Billionares meanwhile probably own hundreds of homes. And farms. And other forms of real estate investments
