Treasury boss Mnuchin, wife raise eyebrows with big money photo op



It started as a routine photo op: Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and wife Louise Linton touring the U.S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing Wednesday to view the first $1 bills bearing Mnuchin's signature.

It ended in an image that set social media alight: Mnuchin and Linton flashing an uncut sheet of dollar bills for the camera in a manner that some Twitter wags compared to a Hollywood blockbuster.

Others drew attention to Linton's attire, which one social user compared to Christopher Lloyd's Judge Doom character in the 1989 movie, "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?"

Mnuchin, a former Goldman Sachs banker, and the Scotland-born actress Linton have been repeatedly criticized over bad optics. In August, Linton had to apologize for lashing out on Instagram at a woman who criticized her for taking a trip on a government airplane.

On Aug. 21, Linton posted a photo showing her and Mnuchin stepping off the plane, and noted some of the designer clothes she was wearing.

When a user posted, "Glad we could pay for your little getaway. #deplorable," Linton fired back.

"Have you given more to the economy than me and my husband?" she asked rhetorically. "Either as an individual earner in taxes OR in self sacrifice to your country? I’m pretty sure we paid more taxes toward our day 'trip' than you did."

mnunchin is reportedly worth as much as $500 million


A Fortune analysis of the public filings found that Mnuchin’s net worth could be as high as $500 million — on top of which he has pulled in recent additional income of nearly $70 million. (Federal financial disclosure forms allow cabinet nominees to declare the value of their assets in ranges rather than fixed dollar amounts.) Mnuchin’s initial disclosures showed that he had a net worth of as much as $400 million, but just before his confirmation hearing Jan. 19, he subsequently disclosed additional real estate holdings valued at nearly $100 million, which he said his lawyer had mistakenly omitted from the first document.
