‘You Can Age and Still Be Valued’

Four years ago, actress Samantha Mathis, who rose to fame in the ’90s starring in films like Pump Up the Volume and Super Mario Bros., was, like all actors, suddenly out of work after the pandemic forced the shut down of all TV and film productions.

“We didn’t know what was going to happen,” she tells PEOPLE of the industry.

At that exact same time she and her sister had closed on a house in New York’s Hudson Valley, so she moved to upstate New York, and did what a ton of people did during that time — discovered a side hustle.

Mathis says her real estate agent, who was also a friend, told her, “‘You would be a natural at this. You love architecture, you love homes, you love upstate, you’re great with people.’ ”

“At first I thought she was crazy,” Mathis says. “I think a lot of

The luxury real estate portfolio of the looters of Venezuela’s state oil company: 21 homes valued at $52 million | International

Luxury homes, penthouses and apartments in dream skyscrapers. The former Chavista leaders – who looted more than $2 billion from Petróleos de Venezuela, SA (PDVSA) – put some of their ill-gotten gains in a real estate portfolio of 21 exclusive properties, which are valued at around $52 million. This is according to a confidential report from the Financial Intelligence Unit of Andorra (UIFAND), to which EL PAÍS has had access.

The criminal network made these investments while carrying out the looting of the state-owned oil company between 2007 and 2012. This was done through the organization’s alleged frontman, Luis Mariano Rodríguez Cabello. And, through several shell companies (none registering activity), the businessman – according to his testimony – purchased 19 luxury homes in Venezuela between 2008 and 2014. These properties were priced between $304,000 and $5.5 million.

Rodríguez Cabello used his 11 accounts in the Banca Privada d’Andorra (BPA) –

Real estate insiders question how Trump fraud judge valued Mar-a-Lago

New York
CNN Business
—

A New York judge ruled last week that former President Donald Trump inflated the value of his Mar-a-Lago estate by an eye-popping 2,300%.

That finding, part of shocking ruling that found Trump and his adult sons liable for fraud, was just one of multiple examples in which Judge Arthur Engoron found the Trump real estate empire to have been grossly inflated in value.

But the Mar-a-Lago finding in particular is raising eyebrows among real estate and legal experts because of the metric Judge Engoron relied on: the county tax assessor’s appraisal value.

“From 2011-2021, the Palm Beach County Assessor appraised the market value of Mar-a-Lago at between $18 million and $27.6 million,” Engoron wrote in his ruling.

The judge noted Trump valued Mar-a-Lago at between $426.5 million and $612 million, “an overvaluation of at least 2,300%, compared to the assessor’s appraisal.”

But it’s widely
