Top 25 Celebrity Occupy Wall Street Supporters Have Combined Net Worth Over $4 Billion…

You have to love the delicious irony of these greedy 1 percenters supporting an anti-capitalist movement:

Newsbusters reports:

Occupy Wall Street attacks income inequality and the richest 1 percent, adopting as its slogan ”we are the 99 percent.” In October, its protesters staged a ”millionaires march’ ‘in New York City, parading to the homes of wealthy citizens such as Rupert Murdoch and David Koch. But only some riches bother the Occupiers, who have ignored the massive wealth of celebrities in their own ranks.

The top 25 richest celebrities supporting Occupy Wall Street, according to the website Celebrity Net Worth, possess a combined net worth just over $4 billion.

While JP Morgan and Chase banker Jamie Dimon (worth $200 million) was one of the targets of the ”millionaires march,” he has a net worth less than five of the celebrities supporting OWS.

Here’s the list of the 25 richest celebrities supporting #OWS:

1. Yoko Ono – $500 million

2. Jay-Z – $450 million

3. David Letterman – $400 million

(tie) Stephen King – $400 million

5. Russell Simmons – $325 million

6. Sean Lennon – $200 million

7. Mike Myers – $175 million

8. George Clooney – $160 million

9. Brad Pitt – $150 million

(tie) Don King – $150 million

11. Roger Waters (Pink Floyd) – $145 million

12. Jane Fonda – $120 million

(tie) Miley Cyrus – 120 million

24. Michael Moore – $50 million

It makes you wonder how many of these one percenters have put their money where their mouths are  by donating to “the cause”. Because a great many of these occupations are rat-infested sh*tholes where occupiers subsist in disease-ridden squalor. And now that winter is upon us, occupiers could use donated funds to warm their tents.

A couple of weeks ago, I interviewed a KC occupier who was pan-handling in the cold for money to buy kerosine. When I asked her what she was trying to accomplish by being there, she answered that she would like to see the minimum wage increased.

She then told me that she had lost two jobs because they couldn’t afford the labor, prompting me to ask: “How do you think increasing the minimum wage will help with jobs if employers are letting people go because they can’t afford the labor?”

No I didn’t donate any money because I don’t support the cause in any way, shape or form.

But those #OWS-supporting celebrity fat cats sure could.
