Jon Stewart’s Penthouse Sale Sparks Online Backlash

Comedian Jon Stewart faced backlash online after it was revealed that his New York City penthouse sold for 829% over its assessed value.

The internet scrutiny followed Stewart’s recent critiques of former President Trump’s real estate valuations. Despite his condemnation of overvaluations, Stewart’s own property sale raised questions about tax implications.

Responding to criticism, Stewart sarcastically compared himself to Trump, sparking further controversy. Critics highlighted the discrepancy between Stewart’s property valuation and those of others, including Mar-a-Lago. While some mocked Stewart’s situation, others questioned the legality of the sale.

Representatives for Stewart did not respond to requests for comment.
