Greater Wyoming, which owns 19 homes: "Estate tax increases hurt me, although I can agree"

José Miguel Monzón, the communicator, comedian and showman better known as the Great Wyoming, has just announced his retirement at the age of 71, after four decades of work in the media and in which he has amassed a fortune that allows him to own 19 homes.

Precisely, now that housing is once again at the center of public debate, this fact also puts Wyoming in the spotlight. The comedian does not deny, in any case, his heritage.

"Yes, the thing about the apartments is true. I have been working on television for 30 years and I have earned a lot of money," the communicator admitted in 2014. Wyomingo then said that "others invest it in boats or farms to raise bulls," and complained about the scrutiny to which he is subjected: "They treat me as if I were a public official. I do whatever I want with my money."

Wyoming admits, in any case, that "all the measures that the left can take, as a potentate that I am, harm me. Raising estate taxes, etc., harms me. Whether or not I agree with it is another thing," he says.

Years later, delving into the housing debate, Wyoming raised the issue of housing again in El Intermedio and said that he understood those who saw it as a contradiction to have several houses and demand more public intervention in the real estate market "even if that harms homeowners like me."

Furthermore, Wyoming maintains that "there are rich people who are good people" and that some can become spokespersons for disadvantaged people in a more vulnerable situation.
