Daily Mail: Proud New Yorker Jerry Seinfeld - who ridiculed claims Big Apple is finished and said he’d never leave - is spotted in his Porsche outside his $32M mansion in the HAMPTONS
* Seinfeld was pictured arriving home in East Hampton this week in a vintage Porsche
* Jerry Seinfeld's op-ed took a jab at comedy club owner James Altucher who had earlier claimed NYC was dead
* Altucher has since hit back saying that denial of the problems plaguing New York City won't fix the problem
* He also slammed Seinfeld for seeking refuge in his 'Hamptons mansion'
* Seinfeld lives in an apartment overlooking Central Park on the Upper West Side and also has a sprawling waterfront mansion in the Hamptons that he bought from Billy Joel
* Altucher noted that apartment vacancies were at an all time high, deficits were at record highs and companies were packing up and moving on from NYC
Jerry Seinfeld was spotted in the Hamptons on Monday arriving at his $32million house in a vintage Porsche, a week after labeling a comedian who fled New York City for Florida a 'putz' and vowing never to abandon the Big Apple.
The comedian became the toast of the town after writing an opinion piece in The New York Times which defended the city and rebuffed what comedy club owner James Altrucher had previously claimed - that it was done for good.
Seinfeld wrote in the piece: 'He says Everyone’s gone for good. How the hell do you know that? You moved to Miami. Yes, I also have a place out on Long Island. But I will never abandon New York City. Ever.'
Altrucher responded to Seinfeld's piece saying it was unfair for him to be labeled as an absconder when the comedian was, himself, in the wealthy enclave of the Hamptons.

WNU Editor: So typical of Hollywood's elite. Do what I say, not what I do. The Big Apple reminds me of what Moscow looked like in the early 1990s. But even though it was bad, I knew that Moscow would eventually recover. People, policies, and the determination to rebuild Moscow from decades of Communist rule were all there. It eventually took 20 years for Moscow to recover, but it did. I know because I was there. In the case of New York City .... I see zero hope.
At some point WNU was not a communist. de Blasio may never be not a communist.

wow.guy wityh tons of money goes all the way from Manhattan to the Hamptons..that is really fleeing the city! And he is never coming back?
ReplyDeleteyou try too hard and look silly
You're reaching, WNU. It's not a good look.
ReplyDeleteThe Hamptoms is 2 hours and 95 to 100 miles away. More importantly like in Chicago, their are bridges you can raise or block.
ReplyDeleteWe'll see what happens to the theatre district spring of 2021. It will be an indicator. If too little business is conducted in NYC, and there are too few parties and soirees among the glitterati, he'll move within 2 years time.
GULAG NYC. ... Commissar de Blasio residing.
Fairy Rings are not just for crab grass. They happen when a major city explodes like a supernova and the metro area surrounding the dead carcass of a once great city take up the slack.
ReplyDeleteNo one likes that cock sucker de Blasio.
Dilma Rousseff could d a btter job than Wilhelm and she is a communist.
Agreed, Anon 7:52PM Central. I came to WNU for War News, not politicking in the USA. I might need to skip this page until the American election is over.
ReplyDeletePolitics is war by another means.
ReplyDeleteHave frie4ndsw visit hamptons often and live in manhattan. No big deal. spending time at a summer place is not unusual and certainly not an indication of fleeing the city! Ever gone to the beach from where you live?
ReplyDeleteNo, the Bastard never really lived in NYC. He lived in the periphery and when he go rich lived top scale , above the rest, and above the clouds at Central Park.
ReplyDeleteHe lived a relatively sheltered life growing up and certainly has been sheltered to the cultural revolution coming. He is not up for it. He will continue fleeing, looking back and shouting about how brave he is.
I honestly can't remember why I keep coming here. I don't give a fuck about Jerry Seinfeld or where he lives. Great comedian though.
ReplyDeleteYou come here, because it is your job. You are a troll.
ReplyDeleteSeinfeld was a great comedian. He is a has been. The world changed and so the material has changed. Jerry hasn't kept up. His old material is too dated to arouse interest.
Jerry is mostly retired but you think he is dated? He does stand up from time to time. You are dated.
ReplyDeleteJerry does not live in Manhattan? But the post is to convince us that Manhattan is finished. Frankly, he lives closer to Manhattan than those badmouthing him from their trailer parks.
and yes: this site is overly political. the stock market? ah, Biden and MSM...Jerry? ah, yes, cities suck since Trump says so.
and on and on. the posts here are very political and worse than MSM in siding with a candidate.
But if no politics, what would the CHUDS have to wank about?
Yeah Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee on Netflix us really tearing up the charts.
ReplyDelete"The New York Times's Anand Giridharadas critiqued the show as being out of touch with the everyman and more of a showcase of Seinfeld's wealth."
Jerry Seinfeld suffers from the same disease as Jack London. Only London was honest about his disease and provided a more lasting contribution for the ages.
