Kerry & Edwards - Common Men
WASHINGTON — John Edwards and John Kerry are trying to appeal to the common man with their populist notions and messages on the campaign trail, but the two multi-millionaires don't live like most Americans.
The top Democratic presidential hopefuls both own mansions in tony Georgetown, the Washington, D.C., neighborhood known for its prime real estate and high-end fashion boutiques.
On one historic cobblestone street lives Edwards, whose 184-year-old, 13-room home is valued at $3.8 million. About a block away is the residence where Kerry lives, a 104-year-old, four-story home with 23 rooms that is conservatively estimated to be worth $4.3 million.
Kerry's home isn't really his own, however. Technically, it belongs to his wife, ketchup heiress Teresa Heinz.
Kerry does own half a home he shares with Heinz in Boston's Beacon Hill (search).
He mortgaged his half of it a couple months ago for $6.4 million — money he used to keep him in the race when the prospect of his presidential bid was looking much bleaker.
=============================================
I feel better already knowing that they will be concerned about my future Real Estate and Personal Property tax increases.
