The strangest thing has happened to Newt Gingrich since he decided on a career of public service. He's gotten filthy rich. He's without a doubt a one percenter now.
Didn't start out that way. Newt came from humble roots. But so do a lot of people. For Newt though the humble roots were something to get away from. And has he ever.
When Newt Gingrich first ran for public office, his net worth was negligible. The guy who ran the corner gas station was in Newt's league financially. Not anymore. After more than a quarter century serving the public Newt's net worth is measured in the tens of millions. Not bad for a public servant.
Here's how Newt does it. For a hundred bucks you can become a member of Newt's fan club.
For a thousand you can be in the "limited edition" fan club.
For a hundred thousand you get first dibs on the Newt appreciation dinner tickets, where Newt will come and speak to your community group.
For two hundred thousand a year Newt will keep you in mind when he's presenting new legislation on the floor of the house.
For a million he will present your new legislation on the floor of the house.
Newt Gingrich doesn't discriminate.
If you've got the money he's got the time.
