Is Beto O’Rourke’s Wife Really A ‘Billionaire’ Heiress? Not Likely.
May 31, 2022 - The Times story referred to O’Rourke’s dad-in-law, Sanders, 77, as a "billionaire," but didn’t venture a more precise estimate of his net worth. A couple days later another story, on the Spectator site, asked why nobody mentioned Beto’s wife Amy was a “billionaire heiress.” It cited the Times story and ventured Sanders’ fortune at $20 billion.

Beto O’Rourke has a rich father-in-law, Kathleen Parker writes. Is that a problem?
March 24, 2019 - The Washington Post tracked down other contemporaries of Schultz’s who grew up in the same housing project to report that it was actually a very nice, state-of-the-art complex. This may be so, but Schultz’s experience can’t be disproved or discredited. When your parents can’t make the $96 monthly rent, you’re not living in paradise.
