Following Hillary Clinton’s recently announced plan to help the middle class, she and Bill are again renting a house in the Hamptons for the last two weeks in August for a rumored $100,000.
The Clintons are renting a four-bedroom home from Republican art collector Andre Nasser and his real estate guru wife, Lois, at 44 Broadview Road — a hidden cul-de-sac in Amagansett that boasts wealthy neighbors, including Harvey Weinstein.
The couple rented the same place for three weeks last year, after Hillary controversially declared they were “dead broke” after leaving the White House in 2000. But this year, the Democratic presidential candidate is making the most of her time in the playground of the rich by organizing a string of campaign fundraisers, titled “Hillary in the Hamptons,” to rub shoulders with wealthy donors.
A source tells us, “The Clintons are renting the house for two weeks. They’ll be joined by Chelsea, her husband, Marc, and their baby daughter, Charlotte.” But, “Hillary doesn’t want headlines saying, ‘Presidential hopeful kicking back in the Hamptons,’ so she’ll be busy while she’s there.”
The Clintons are expected to arrive in the Hamptons by Aug. 21, and her fundraising events start the next day at the Water Mill, Long Island, home of Artie Rabin, a Brooklyn Nets co-owner, philanthropist and founder of Wear Me Apparel, and his wife, Selma.
Next up: an Aug. 30 pancake breakfast at the East Hampton home of Alan Patricof, the venture-capital pioneer who founded Apax Partners and co-founded Greycroft Partners and is said to be worth in excess of $150 million, and his wife, Susan.
Also on Aug. 30, fashion designer Tory Burch will host a luncheon for Hillary in Southampton. That night, it’s a “Full Moon on the Farm with Hillary Rodham Clinton” barbecue at the East Hampton home of Hilary Leff and entertainment lawyer Elliot Groffman. Hors d’oeuvres will be provided by Anthony Weiner’s brother, Almond restaurant chef Jason Weiner.
