Hannity took out a $2.5 million loan on the family’s Long Island home to invest in real estate. Since the 1990’s Hannity has invested in a Georgia based real estate company that has set up 20 shell companies to purchase nearly 900 properties in 7 states.
Jill continues to quietly support her husband through all of the controversial moves he makes. She has let it slip that she intends to move to the family’s Florida home permanently once her children are in college.
