McMansion Hell Tackles Betsy DeVos’ 22,000-Square-Foot Summer Home

Core77 is a non-partisan rag, but when McMansion Hell’s Kate Wagner goes after Betsy DeVos’ 22,000-square-foot summer home, we can’t not cover it. Because it’s freaking funny.

“Two weeks ago, somebody untied Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos’s $40 million yacht from its mooring,” Wagner wrote in Vox. “It got me thinking about another opulent display of wealth owned by DeVos: her 22,000-square-foot nautical-themed summer mansion, located in Holland, Michigan. Just a few more years of climate change and it’ll be floating too.”

It appears this was a work-for-hire, meaning Vox owns these images, so we don’t dare post more than the three we snagged here just to promote the piece. We recommend you click on over and check out all of it, and read Wagner’s rationale while you’re at it.
