People magazine reports that Bill Clinton needed to get in some “retail therapy” at Hermes in Paris recently. According to People, Clinton arrived in a “five-car convoy” at the store that “sells ties for about $225; a leather belt can set you back nearly $1,000.” The store shut down the third floor so Clinton could get in some quality shopping time.
It seems American taxpayers were along for the ride as well, paying nearly $9,000 for the cars in which Clinton was driven around. If only we taxpayers could get a nice belt as well.
With this expensive shopping trip, and Bill Clinton being the largest individual purchaser of some high-priced watches, seems the “dead broke” Clintons are doing just fine.
