A friend from this Midwest sent me this… Michael Moore is selling a house that a realtor characterizes as “an appealing spot for corporate retreats” (nypost). The lakefront house near Traverse City, Michigan is 11,058 square feet and is on the market for $5.2 million. The value was listed as $2 million during 2014 divorce litigation (“MICHAEL MOORE OWNS 9 HOMES”). (Moore sued his wife in Michigan and, despite the 9 houses, apparently there wasn’t a major dispute regarding venue because the trial was also scheduled to be in Michigan)
How does this house compare to Al Gore’s? The Gore mansion is just 10,000 square feet (snopes.com).
What do readers think? Does the celebrity ownership raise or lower the value of this particular mansion?

Philip,
Funny you should write about this.
I am at Torch Lake right now, the place where Moore’s house is located. His house is down the street.
I assume Moore will be giving all proceeds to unwed minority mothers so as to keep the mean, rich Caucasion business owners off their backs?
I hazard a guess.
Location, location, location.
But if you’re a big fan of Brad Pit/Johnny Depp/Michael Mooret, you’d probably be willing to pay a slight premium to live in one of their ex-houses.
I was slightly surprised to learn that Michael Moore owns/owned 9 houses
As we all know, home owenership isn’t all it’s cracked up to be (not even for the rich and successful)

But then again, to each his own
