With a networth of $70M, Chris Rock calls July 4th “Happy White People’s Day”

Celebrity Networth estimates comedian, actor, and screenwriter Chris Rock has a net worth of $70 million.

But Rock, a big Obama supporter, thinks the America that’s made him fabulously wealthy is an unregenerate racist country.

Yesterday, this was how Rock greeted the 236th birthday of America. He tweeted this message to his 858,051 Twitter followers:

Actor Don Cheadle re-tweeted Rock’s message and added a “haha” to the end. Nominated in 2004 for an Academy Award for Best Actor for his role in the movie “Hotel Rwanda,” Cheadle has an estimated net worth of $30 million.

Jewish actor Zach Braff, best known for his role on the television show “Scrubs,” also chimed in by tweeting: “Slaves weren’t freed for another 90 years. So maybe just enjoy some of the fireworks.” Braff’s net worth is estimated to be $22 million.

The U.S. annual average per capita income is $41,663.

According to a March 2003 report by the U.S. Census Bureau, “Net Worth and Asset Ownership of Households: 1998 and 2000″ by Shawna Orzechowski and Peter Sepielli, the median U.S. household net worth in 2000 was $55,000. Given the Great Recession and especially the crash in the real estate market, the median U.S. per capita net worth is probably in the $15,000 – $20,000 range today. [Source]

It is astonishing how Chris Rock and Don Cheadle, both blacks, manage to have done so astonishingly well, becoming so fabulously wealthy in the appallingly racist United States of America!

H/t Daily Mail

I will NEVER EVER watch ANYTHING with Chris Rock, Don Cheadle, or Zach Braff in it. Even if it doesn’t cost me a penny.

That’s my “Happy White People’s Day!” message to them — and I’m not even white.

Jon Stewart conceals his wealth under pets’ names

Jon Stewart mocks Christians with his “vagina manger

John Nolte writes for Breitbart.com that the left-wing star of the low-rated cable Daily Show, Jon “I’m-not-a-liberal” Stewart, is a big hypocrite.

Stewart (born Jonathan Stuart Leibowitz) uses his TV show as a Super PAC platform to carry water for Obama by attacking Mitt Romney’s wealth and the extravagance of the “one-percenters.” But Stewart himself is a 1% multi-millionaire who makes more than 300 times the median American salary and owns three luxury homes that he hides under fake names!

You see, Jon Stewart doesn’t technically own those homes. Using a trick mastered by countless one-percenters, the properties were purchased by private trusts named after his pets. The super-wealthy often make big-ticket purchases through trusts in order to protect their other assets from lawsuits, diminish estate tax liability, and avoid public scrutiny.

Stewart also sometimes doesn’t pay his taxes.

The state of New York issued its first “state tax warrant” for Stewart’s failure to pay $476.03, sending the notice to the address of the KLS Professional Advisors Group, the financial firm that manages Stewart’s money. In September 2008, New York issued a second lien, this time a $3,225.63 demand to Stewart’s wife Tracy, which was sent to the address of the Stewarts’ trusts.

The Daily Caller has done some excellent reporting on this. You’ll want to read the full report.

Stewart, age 49, is worth an estimated $80 million. At his current earning rate, Stewart’s net worth will be $320 million (not including increases in property value or other assets) by the time he turns 65 — Mitt Romney’s current age. In other words, for all his attacks on Romney’s wealth, Stewart is on pace to be richer than Romney.
