Kerry inherited three trusts from his mother, Rosemary Kerry, who died last year. Kerry's wife, Teresa Heinz Kerry, is heir to the Heinz food fortune and her wealth is estimated at more than $500 million. Her holdings include millions of dollars in H.J. Heinz Co., Del Monte Foods, Pfizer Inc., Walgreen Co., Wal-Mart, Gannett and General Electric. She also is an owner of the Thyme Square Restaurant and the Flying Squirrel charter airline.
Kerry is not rich. Look at what he inherited:
"Kerry inherited three trusts in 2002 after his mother's death. The holdings include between $66,000 and $165,000 in U.S. Treasury bonds, as well as thousands of dollars in stocks ranging from Home Depot to Microsoft Corp."
It totals about 300 K, much less than I'll inherit and I shop at the 99 cent store sometimes. |
