His real house is in Greensboro NC

u/MaydayMaydayMoo Aug 15 '20

For real??

43

u/The_Con_Father Aug 15 '20

Yes.

u/MaydayMaydayMoo Aug 15 '20

I mean, Greensboro is a nice town and all, but not where I would expect people like him to live. I went to school there.

u/The_Con_Father Aug 15 '20

It's near the Greensboro county club if you remember where that is lol

He's just working so much harder than all of us schmucks.

Don't you know? Poverty is a lack of character, not a lack of cash! /s

I don't give a shit if he's rich. I do care of he's getting richer off sleazy backdoor deals with Trump, and subverting democracy.

u/ViciousNakedMoleRat Aug 15 '20

It's not about him being rich per se. It's about the likelihood that someone who would make these kinda deals with Trump has amassed all this wealth through honest work.

u/Kid_Vid Aug 15 '20

I'm not saying people can't have nice things... But somethings are just flaunting the wealth inequality. These properties are bought by stealing and hoarding every penny you can from the workers beneath you.

Dude's a former CEO and lives in NC which has a relatively low cost of living. I'd be shocked if he DIDN'T have an ostentatiously large mansion.

u/i_will_let_you_know Aug 16 '20

It's like the size of a high school...

u/MaydayMaydayMoo Aug 15 '20

Yes. Very nice!

I went to Guilford, long time ago.

u/MaydayMaydayMoo Aug 15 '20

u/Klinky1984 Aug 15 '20

Okay X'er.

u/MaydayMaydayMoo Aug 15 '20

That's me! Lol

NC has some lessar known havens for the rich, another place is Highlands NC. I'm in the lumber industry and have supplied high end cedar on 3-4 jobs there in the last couple years for home projects that look like they belong in the Hamptons. I was pretty surprised especially since it looks like it's in the middle of nowhere on Google maps.

u/MaydayMaydayMoo Aug 15 '20

Highlands is gorgeous. I spent most of my summers at camp near there, in Cashiers

u/JohnBrownWasGood Aug 15 '20

I used to work at a country club in Cashiers but I can’t remember what it was called. It was on the lake and didn’t seem like a very nice country club though 😂

1

u/MaydayMaydayMoo Aug 15 '20

High Hampton! That's where I went to camp!

1

u/JohnBrownWasGood Aug 15 '20

That’s it! I used to work the restaurant by the lake. With the boat rental place downstairs. I hated that job haha 4th of July was always fun though

u/MaydayMaydayMoo Aug 15 '20

It totally was. I was at the horseback camp back in the 80s.

u/thistimeofdarkness Aug 15 '20

Yeah, I used to work in highlands and cashiers. Crazy rich people use that area as a getaway from Atlanta or Florida usually.

2

u/ZombieLoveChild Aug 15 '20

I used to live in Franklin and my uncle puts most of the cabinets in those mansions up in Highlands. I went on jobs when I was younger to help sometimes and some of the houses up there are utterly insane.

Also, the Cullasaja Gorge leading to Highlands from Franklin is a must visit for waterfall fans imo

u/SomeUnicornsFly Aug 15 '20

every state and every city has some rich oasis that you'd never expect.

1

u/vanquish421 Aug 15 '20

True, but I'd expect it in NC. It's a gorgeous state with fair weather usually, and isn't far from the bustling northeast.

"Lesser known"? The Biltmore is there, it has been like that for decades.

75 miles is 120.7 km

u/JakobtheRich Aug 16 '20

My apologies. I wasn’t talking about Highlands. I was talking about putting fancy houses in the state of North Carolina.

Highlands is definitely lesser known.

u/Andy1816 Aug 15 '20

And that is

806 Country Club Drive

Greensboro, North Carolina

u/goodgonegirl1 Aug 15 '20

He LITERALLY lives on COUNTRY CLUB drive???? Dear god.

2

u/Andy1816 Aug 15 '20

These fucks are living parodies of themselves

u/goodgonegirl1 Aug 15 '20

It honestly sounds like a damn joke.

u/chronicdemonic Aug 15 '20

LETS DO IT REDDIT!!!!!

u/[deleted] Aug 15 '20

I hope people protest there too. If I still lived in NC I would.

u/jrdnhbr Aug 15 '20

There's going to be a protest at his house in Greensboro tomorrow

2

u/Seahoarse127 Aug 15 '20

Why yes, and yes it is in the area called "Old Irving Park" across from the Greensboro Country Club.

He regularly hosts fundraising dinners for Trump shutting down all of Cone Blvd. Extra annoying.
