b_m_b_m_b_m Posted November 5 Posted November 5 Just a moment... WWW.POLITICO.COM First off, this mf died very rich Quote Kissinger’s estate documents, reported here for the first time, also provide an estimate of the considerable personal fortune — at least $80 million — that the former statesman amassed during the four decades that he ran his controversial consulting firm, Kissinger Associates. The firm, which was the first in what eventually became an industry in which former government officials leveraged contacts forged in public life to serve private clients, was especially active in arranging entrée for private business executives and their companies to China. In fact, Kissinger’s net worth at the time of his death was likely much higher than that; the $80 million estimate included his financial investments and cash but did not include his home in northwestern Connecticut, his apartment in midtown Manhattan or his shares in his consulting business. The will and other documents related to Kissinger’s estate were quietly filed with the New York court system late last year. Second, and more importantly, he’s not getting a monument. Quote Bremer said in an interview that despite the request in the will, there won’t be a monument erected on Kissinger’s burial plot. Instead, he said, “there will be a tombstone, a grave marker, on his gravesite.” Bremer indicated that this was the result of discussions with Arlington officials. “They assigned a very competent Army colonel who helped us,” he said. I have a suggestion for a monument for him however: Quote
