Mnuchin's wife

[matt819]

What a (fill in the blank).

She's a C movie actress who married money. Good for her. Doesn't make her Marie Antoinette. Or, in her view, it does.

For those who may not know, here's an excerpt from Wikipedia on the Birkin bag: The bag is currently in fashion as a symbol of wealth due to its high price and use by celebrities. Birkins are the most popular bag with handbag collectors, and Victoria Beckham owns over 100 of them. Its prices range from $11,900.00 to $300,000.00.

1. After her despicable Facebook post bragging about how rich she is & insulting

a working class woman, I'd be willing to bet real money that she didn't marry for true love. She's really a vile piece of work.

7. Too bad about Victoria Beckham. Ms. Mnuchin, Ms.

Beckham, and others should form the Imelda Marcos Club.

For Victoria, assume the avetage is $15,000 per bag, and she has only 100 bags, that's $1,500,000. Ever heard of Save the Children, Southern Poverty Law, Legal Defense Fund or any other charity. I thought the Beckhams were real people. Nope.

2. And by looking at her between makeup, Botox and plastic surgery she worked hard to look like that

9. Sounds like Mnuchin's values are like DT's. No wonder he

Supported DTs Charlottesville statement...he and Holy Mike Pence.

15. I'm sorry to say, she's Scottish!

She's from Edinburgh. Many of us Glaswegians consider Edinburgh as almost part of England.

17. Nothing to be sorry about ... Scottish people are fine people .... I have been to Edinburgh

4. I just did a quick trip over to Hermes to see what you're talking about

I return unimpressed. Ten years from now, you'll find them for ten bucks at consignment shops. There is nothing about them to justify the pricing except a bunch of spoiled trophy wives thought the design was different enough from other mass produced handbags to buy them for a while.

My Depression baby mother always told me the best way to have money was to hang onto it when you got it. I guess that is no longer true now that they're all getting it from the government through unjust taxes and low wages.

5. fishlips was an investment banker turned movie producer

and she is a failing actress with few credits to her name approaching the age where Hollywood simply won't cast her anymore (except as the suburban mom roles)... so she snags the billionaire who was on the hunt for a trophy wife 18 years younger than him...

One can argue whether Hollywood is fair to mid-thirties and older women (it is not).

But she made a conscious decision to marry for money and comforts herself with her expensive fashion items... and then wants to lash out at anyone who dares question the very items she coveted and had to marry a soulless investment banker to afford.

18. One reason those marriages never last.

There will always be a younger, prettier girl and an older richer man.

6. This was a sub plot on a Sex And The City episode.

Sa man that wanted a Birkin and got one by saying it was for a celebrity client. The whole idea is repulsive to me.

8. Her racist story about her trip too africa is worse

[Skidmore]

10. Why on earth would anyone

want or need 100 of those hideous things?

[samnsara]

11. yes they were mentioned in Sex and the City

[chowder66]

12. It looks like Beckham probably did it for investment + fashion

she may have bought several to keep the value up.

13. I realized I actually saw her in a movie

She had a bit part in the Warren Beatty film about Howard Hughes, "Rules Don't Apply." It was actually a very well done and quite amusing film, that got no attention last year. Worth watching.

Mrs. Mnuchin (or whatever her acting name is) played one of the young actresses that Hughes was grooming at the studio . I don't really remember her in particular in it, but I see she was in it ... one of the blonde girls.

14. More proof that rich people are not taxed enough.

Even if that means they leave the country. Good riddance if they do.

[Vinca]

16. If I had a billion dollars, I wouldn't buy a bag like that.

The money would go to a charity. It might be a Hermes Birkin bag, but in the end it's just "stuff."

19. Her next mode of transportation should be a tumbril cart.
