It seems Glenn Beck is down to selling his house

The amount of money that guy made, and he wasn't able to squirrel away enough of it for a soft landing?
Nope, sorry...that means he didn't even bother. It means that he thought he was invincible, and that this day would never ever come.

He has a place somewhere in Montana or something too -- a ranch which I'm sure is also pretty nice. I think he has a condo in NYC too.

I used to be a Beck fan. I haven't listened in years and I'm actually surprised he still has a big audience listening to his radio show. He's been sued a few times which I'm sure costs him millions of dollars. He had a nice start to The Blaze, but I think he had all of these ideas and spent A LOT of money on things that never came to fruition and other things that were just a waste of time and money. Some of his staff seemed to get tired of him having these grand ideas, they put in the work and then it never came through. He bought a lot of historical memorabilia which I'm sure he spent millions on too.

I'm assuming he's leaving Texas and going to Idaho for good. Maybe he'll even retire as a radio host. :shrug:

I cannot stomach the guy but I actually feel bad for all the staff and crew.
You might not know this but Beck actually bought the entire "Studios at Las Colinas" complex in Dallas to make a home for his Mercury Radio Arts and television production complex.
And that's the part that hurts Dallas film-TV professionals the most because "The Studios at Las Colinas" already had a faltering reputation from the very first day that they opened their doors.

More than a few professionals refer to the Las Colinas complex as "the place where movies and TV shows go to die" because every few months, some big huge "idea" for a project would come down the pike, "Oh looky, they're going to produce it at Las Colinas!!" and suddenly the place would spring to life with prospective crew members eager to jump in on the ground floor.
And a few months later, that project would be dead in the water and Las Colinas would sit vacant again.
Lather, rinse, repeat.
Methinks that the Glenn Beck takeover and now abandonment of Las Colinas may very well be the death knell for the troubled studio complex.
 
Holy crap that's an enormous house!
I used to listen to Beck years ago-decent radio entertainment before he went all conspiracy crazy and fringe.
I think he's a troubled individual.

HAHAHAHA...my son just came back from visiting his friends back in Mansfield, TX (DFW suburb) and swore he was never ever going back again.
His dear childhood friend is an addict now, and living in a highly dysfunctional relationship with an addict girlfriend, and he told me that he had forgotten how brutal the summers were down there.
My wife, who has multiple sclerosis, was a prisoner inside our home for about five or six months out of every year due to the humidity and the crackling heat.

Yeah, we had a LOVELY home in Mansfield, and we even paid it off early, but like sangha said, the problem is, it's in "Saudi Arabia of America", otherwise known as Dallas, Texas.

Yes, yes I do know some people who thrive in that weather, I am amazed by it.
"Hell yeah it's hot in Texas, the hotter the better! I love it!"

OR

"Damn right it gets hot down here, that's how we keep the Yankees out!"

I do not know how they do it but they do.
We just couldn't handle it anymore, the short heat waves we get here in Southern CA are intense but they only last a few days, not six months.
 
I don't feel sympathy for a guy who really did have a lot of influence in feeding the massive growing partisan divide. Even he has acknowledged his role.
