Its not new news that RFK Jr.s vice-presidential pick Nicole Shanahan is wealthy because of her gargantuan divorce settlement from Google co-founder Sergey Brin, but the NY Times dug into her past to find cocaine, ketamine and psychedelic mushrooms use, and an affair with Elon Musk.
When born-rich, anti-vaccine whackjob Robery F. Kennedy, Jr chose Silicon Valley lawyer Nicole Shanahan as his running mate for his presidential campaign two months ago, the little-known Shanahan was described in the press as a philanthropist. Thats generally a term used for people who are wealthy because of someone elses money. Though yes, Shanahan did found something called the Bia-Echo Foundation, which claims to have handed out $100 million, but has never really been in the news much.
And Shanahan herself has not really been vetted by the media, either. But thats happening now. Its pretty clear that Kennedy chose Shanahan because she has so much money to burn on his campaign. But the New York Times just did some digging into Shanahans background, and reports that her fortune is largely from her $1 billion divorce settlement from Google co-founder Sergey Brin, with whom she had an affair, then married, and later divorced. And oh, these details on why the two divorced...
"During their five-year marriage, Ms. Shanahan partied with Silicon Valleys elite and used recreational drugs including cocaine, ketamine and psychedelic mushrooms, according to eight people and documents reviewed by The New York Times, that outlet reports. Ms. Shanahan and Mr. Brin separated after she had a sexual encounter with Elon Musk in 2021, three of the people said.
