Hillary Clinton reportedly splurged $100,000 on a rental house in the Hamptons


Oh, to be rich and famous and running for president! Hillary Clinton, however, doesn't want to look like she's kicking back in the Hamptons — although that's exactly what she'll be doing at the end of August, according to Page Six. To make it look like "work," however, Clinton has dubbed her vacation Hillary in the Hamptons and decided to "fundraise" at events like a pancake breakfast with her wealthy friends.
What's more, Clinton and husband Bill are rumored to be spending $100,000 for a two-week stay at the four-bedroom home of Republican art collector Andre Nasser and wife Lois in Amagansett, New York. But the elbow-rubbing doesn't end there — Page Six says Clinton will flit about the East End, meeting with millionaire friends including Artie Rabin, the Brooklyn Nets co-owner, and Alan Patricof, a venture-capitalist who founded Apex Partners and, oh by the way, is worth over $150 million.
Patricof will also be hosting a jaunty Pancake Breakfast with Hillary. Likewise, Full Moon on the Farm with Hillary Rodham Clinton will be hosted at the East Hampton house of Hilary Leff and entertainment lawyer Elliot Groffman. Free idea: Adapt Hillary's fundraising events into children's books?
