MAGA Governor Hopeful Doesn’t Want ‘That Type’ Next Door MAGA billionaire Rick Jackson wants to be Georgia’s next governor–and is pitching himself as a philanthropist who will “treat affordability like a crisis” and help people struggling with rent and housing costs.

But when it came to apartments near his own home, Jackson seemed to have a different philosophy.

Documents obtained by The Swamp’s Farrah Tomazin reveal how the Trump ally sued his local county for approving apartments near his $11.5 million mega-mansion in Cumming, about 40 miles from Atlanta.

“Forsyth County ought to be proud of one fact, in that they have the nicest home in Georgia and the 18th largest home in the United States,” Jackson boasted in a 2013 deposition for his lawsuit.

The 47,000-square-foot estate, known as “Le Reve,” (“The Dream”) is indeed a nice home, with 82 rooms, a bowling alley, a private nine-hole golf course, a movie theater and a dog agility course.

But the health executive argued that having apartments next to his estate would be a “complete total disgrace and disrespect” and fretted about the “type of people” who would live there.

Renters “are not as responsible as people that own” their own homes, he said, and presented a “bigger security issue.” What’s more, Jackson noted, children from the apartments might find a way to sneak onto his property.
