Many are familiar with Obama’s relationship with controversial preacher Rev. Jeremiah Wright, but few are aware that Wright is also connected to real estate development.  The infamous “man of God” is not unknown in the Illinois real estate market.  In 2004, he purchased two empty lots in Tinley Park, Ill. from a well-known Chicago restaurant chain owner.  He later sold this property to his church, Trinity United, for a loss of $40,000 in 2006.  This property was also used to finance a $10 million line of credit for the church.

Wright’s newest real estate venture is even more controversial.  As thanks for his devoted work, Wright’s church has been building him a $1 million four-bedroom home featuring a family room with a bar, dedicated exercise room and a room which will later be used for a theater or indoor swimming pool. Trinity Church is listed as the landowner of the property on the building permit. Neither Wright’s business manager nor Obama himself has commented on this topic.
