Ro Khanna Promises to Fight the Oligarchs, Tax the Rich, and Imprison "the Epstein Class" While Driving a $190,000 Range Rover, Owning Family Golf Courses, and Taking Elevators In His Mansion

If you've somehow missed this goblinoid, Ro Khanna is running for president. He first attempted to cast himself as a "reasonable" Democrat who believed in the American dream and thought we should transcend racial and gender differences, not dwell on them.

That didn't sell. So Ro Khanna 2.0 joined with Thomas Massie in fighting "the Epstein class," doubling down on identity politics, and dropping his support of business to crusade as a full-bore communist class warrior.

But don't notice his immense wealth, which he selfishly hoards for himself and attempts various tax schemes to protect from the IRS.

NEW: @FreeBeacon
has the receipts on Ro Khanna's obscene, oligarchic wealth:
--his 2 kids (under 10yrs old) own 3 private golf courses in Ohio (not kidding)
--his wife drives a $190,000 luxury Range Rover
--his house has a 4-story indoor elevator

His two kids, both younger than 10, own three golf courses? That totally doesn't sound like a tax scam at all!

Must read exposé: "How Progressive Class Warrior Ro Khanna Lives Like the Oligarchs He 'Fights,' With In-Home Elevator, $190K Range Rover, and Family-Owned Golf Courses."
"Rep. Ro Khanna (D., Calif.) has emerged as a potential contender for the Democratic presidential nomination while denouncing the ultra-rich who "hoard wealth and engage in financial speculation." But the progressive, Silicon Valley congressman and his family live a life of staggering luxury, fueled by dynastic wealth they did not earn and protected by the same thicket of trusts, anonymous corporations, and foundations that Khanna condemns.
Khanna lives in a $6 million, 8,000-square-foot luxury home with a four-story elevator and so much premium marble that even the two laundry rooms have marble counters.
The Northwest Washington, D.C., home is now for sale, as the Khanna family prepares to move to an even larger, more expensive house a few miles away in the Northern Virginia suburbs. Khanna's two children, who are minors, have large ownership shares in three private golf clubs, a significant stake in a $65 billion wealth management firm, and investments in hedge funds that focus on distressed debt, of which Khanna has been critical. Khanna's wife drives a $190,000 Range Rover she was so displeased with that she sued the dealer."

Rep. Ro Khanna (D., Calif.) has emerged as a potential contender for the Democratic presidential nomination while denouncing the ultra-rich who "hoard wealth and engage in financial speculation." But the progressive, Silicon Valley congressman and his family live a life of staggering luxury, fueled by dynastic wealth they did not earn and protected by the same thicket of trusts, anonymous corporations, and foundations that Khanna condemns.
Khanna lives in a $6 million, 8,000-square-foot luxury home with a four-story elevator and so much premium marble that even the two laundry rooms have marble counters. The Northwest Washington, D.C., home is now for sale, as the Khanna family prepares to move to an even larger, more expensive house a few miles away in the Northern Virginia suburbs. Khanna's two children, who are minors, have large ownership shares in three private golf clubs, a significant stake in a $65 billion wealth management firm, and investments in hedge funds that focus on distressed debt, of which Khanna has been critical. Khanna's wife drives a $190,000 Range Rover she was so displeased with that she sued the dealer.
A Washington Free Beacon investigation into Khanna's finances finds that the progressive truthteller's lifestyle is funded by his wife, Ritu Ahuja Khanna, an heiress to her father's Cleveland auto parts fortune.

Oh, I thought he was some kind of tech mogul who at least earned his money, which would explain his previous support of tech moguls who earn fortunes.

But nope, he just married the rich girl and inherited her father's money. He is, as Hercule Poirot might say, a cold-hearted adventurer who seduced his way into a fortune.

An analysis of Khanna's financial disclosures reveals his gilded life is enriched by the same sort of investment vehicles that Khanna has said he has a "moral" duty to oppose and that Khanna's family is a beneficiary of the "New Gilded Age" he condemns.
Khanna's family wealth comes from his father in law, Monte Ahuja, an Indian-born, Cleveland auto parts magnate turned investor and philanthropist. Like many of the global ultra-rich with generational wealth, Ahuja has set up various trusts and other financial models to benefit his children and grandchildren. These complex financial structures are deliberately opaque, but Khanna, as a member of Congress, is legally required to disclose his family's financial affairs to the public. This visibility, however, has been somewhat obscured by Khanna's decision to file his financial disclosures in the old analog format, effectively rendering it immune to a thorough examination without the use of sophisticated data analysis tools.
In 2024, Khanna's financial disclosures clocked in at 333 pages of non-text-searchable tables, listing over 3,000 individual assets owned by him, his wife, and his children, with each asset having ticked one of 13 available boxes corresponding to an asset valuation range. Put together, those assets are worth anywhere from $103 million to more than $340 million, according to a Free Beacon review. It's possible that the net worth of Khanna's nuclear family could far exceed $340 million. He reported a total of 10 assets held by his wife and two children--including the stakes they hold in three golf clubs--as simply being worth more than $1 million with no disclosed ceiling.
For his two young children, Khanna reported in 2024 they own between $26 million and more than $73 million in irrevocable trusts, a wealth transfer vehicle that could shield them from future inheritance taxes.
Khanna's wife purchased the couple's current Washington, D.C., home through one of her trusts in 2020 for $3.15 million, real estate records show. The house, which is located in an enclave of newly constructed luxury homes in Northwest D.C., is less than a mile from a private school for young children, which counted Khanna's wife as a member of its parents association through 2023.

The Epstein documents show a bunch of celebs, academics and leftwing pols associating with Epstein in various ways...but they don't mean these people - a couple of these academics faced minor consequences and the left's argument was this was a violation of those "Epstein Class" member's rights to free association and speech...

37 Khanna moved to California in late 2003, near as I can tell, having been raised in the Philly area and attended college at University of Chicago (Where fun goes to die") and Yale Law School (of course). He tried to run for Congress immediately, failed, worked for a couple of law firms for a few years and then taught part-time after his marriage in 2015. He moved to Washington soon thereafter, having finally got into Congress in 2017.

So his brief sojurn in California got him a job, and his wife got him FU money.

His FIL must really be disappointed in him, since he is a well-known GOP donor and big supporter of capitalism.

In other words, some poor schmuck is being paid minimum wage (or less) to type everything up on an IBM Selectric.

Usually through a trust; the property is in a minor's name, but controlled by an adult executor until some date after his 18th birthday.

72 Honestly I don't get wanting a fleet of cars if I was rich.

One reliable car for normal operation and if I lived in the NE/North one car that can handle snow and ice.

Though I guess if my goal was to pick up women then yes I'd need a third fancy car of some sort - something Italian that break all the time but looks cool when it is working...

73 The other "tell" that he's deliberately circumventing the letter and spirit of the law is that he's submitting them as "analog" format. In other words, some poor schmuck is being paid minimum wage (or less) to type everything up on an IBM Selectric. Those are then being submitted in physical form and then some other poor schmuck turns them into non-OCR PDFs (images) for digital archiving.

Though there are some wonderful tools that can turn images like that into a fully readable document now, thanks in part to AI.

The Urus is a tarted-up Audi Q6 and is driven by finance bros who happened to have kids with their trophy wife.

RR is British too -- or at least as British as Rollie (owned by BMW) or Bentley (owned by VW).

Urus is on the same platform as the Q8. Finance bros get the Revuelto or Temerario. The Urus is for the older guys and rich housewives to drive when they need more space than the Revo or Teme. A new Urus performance model is being launched tomorrow. Probably north of $500k.

If you talk with leftwingers they are all onboard with the notion of a 100% tax on anyone that makes more then them.

And it is funny if a wealthier leftist starts talking with a less wealthy one because the former might start with "People that make more then $1M a year should be taxed at 100%" while the poorer one wants it at $100K which would hit the wealthier one...

Trump was wealthy, but that's not why he won.

He won because he said the unsayable and got airtime for the message to get out. The media propped him up because they thought he would destroy the GOP, and the GOP was happy to oblige because there was no one the GOP hated more in 2015 than the base.

He said things people agreed with but no one else in the race (save Cruz in some instances) would come close to saying.

Remember when Scott Walker was going to be the Trump killer? He was going to take his great success in WI and just float to an easy 2nd place in the polls without trying. Building on his likeable charm and boringness combined with policy wins at the state level to appeal to the voters.

And then he went from "hard-nosed union fighter" to "wishy-washy say-nothing but definitely don't mean it on the most important issue of the day, immigration".

143 Upper caste Indian women are the most oppressed people in the world because of British colonialism.

A town I lived in had one black family but had a massive influx of Indians.

One of the black family's kids got in trouble for fighting at school and suddenly there was an "anti-racism" group arguing the school was racist and picking on the kid and the group was all Indian women.

Once the issue with the kid faded this new "anti-racism" group changed to arguing the town had to pay for Indian celebrations like Diwali and such hiring the businesses of those Indian women's husbands to provide the decorations/food/etc...

146 >>> 131 Sorry, missed last thread... but it's worse then people imagine.

First, the Supremes said dual citizenship is legal.

Then said every American Citizens has a RIGHT to vote.

Then put in Mail in voting, with States giving everyone a mail in ballot, with no ID check.

So, a ChiCom can come here, give birth, and take the kid home, who 18 years later can register to vote ONLINE (with no ID check) to any local address, then once in the system, change their address for voting.

Under the current rules imposed BY the Supreme Court, our elections can now easily and LEGALLY be tainted by Foreigners who never even lived here.

Trump did not win because of build the wall. That is a highly questionable distillation of what happened in 2016.

Trump won principally because he understands marketing and branding AND how to fight. Better than anyone in politics.

He also had a major gap created by the America Hating Democrats and Lying Republicans (BIRM) and decided to take ownership of every scrap they tried to leave behind.

Trump knew how to speak, how to stand behind his words and most of all how to win. It didn't hurt that he can be quite entertaining when he speaks. Build the wall was part of that but only a part.

Consultants don't buy up these firms, they get hired to run or advise them by PE firms, who are the buyers. Consultants spread "best practices" and act as a buffer for taking blame for decisions management wants to make. Sometimes best practices are really better, sometimes they're a fad.

Buying a business and destroying it is a losing proposition, but there are incentives to take lots of risk and use lots of debt.
