Barbra Streisand’s Film Company Pocketed $200K in Small Business Pandemic Cash — and Paid Gardener at Her $20M Mansion; Gardener at Barbra Streisand’s Malibu Estate was Paid with PPP Funds: Report, and other C-Virus related stories
Barbra Streisand’s film company pocketed $200K in small business pandemic cash — and paid gardener at her $20M mansion:
Barbra Streisand’s film company, which pays the groundskeeper at her $20 million mansion, got $200,000 in PPP money intended to help small businesses make payroll written off, The Post has learned.
The multimillionaire star’s Barwood Films Ltd. received loans from the Paycheck Protection Program in 2020 and 2021 — then had them written off by the federal government.
Among the workers paid through Barwood Films in 2020 and 2021 was a groundskeeper responsible for the gardens at her $20 million Malibu clifftop home — where the business is registered — and an “executive support” employee.
Her spokesman claimed Streisand’s gardener had not been paid with taxpayer funds. The Post has confirmed that the groundskeeper was employed by Barwood Films when it took public money to make payroll.
Streisand, 81, is worth $430 million, according to Forbes. She has long been known for her lavish living, even having a replica antique shopping mall in her Malibu clifftop home.
The mall is in the basement of the eight-bedroom, 11-bathroom mansion, itself valued at at least $20 million, and whose gardens have been called “an idyllic oasis” by Homes & Gardens. There are 3,000 rose bushes alone.
The English-style garden and manicured lawns have featured extensively on her Instagram. They include a lovingly tended gravesite for Samantha, her beloved pet Coton de Tulear, who died in 2017 and whom she had cloned, giving her Miss Violet and Miss Scarlett. —>READ MORE HERE
Gardener at Barbra Streisand’s Malibu estate was paid with PPP funds: report
Streisand’s gardener was paid through federal loans that the star’s film production company received in 2020 and 2021 to make payroll during the pandemic, according to the New York Post
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Barbra Streisand’s film company paid the groundskeeper at her $20 million Malibu estate using some of the $209,000 it received from Paycheck Protection Program loans, a new report says.
According to The New York Post, Barwood Films Ltd., the multimillionaire’s production company, received loans from the program in 2020 and 2021. The program was created by the federal government to help small businesses make payroll during the global health crisis and to prevent mass unemployment.
The Post said two workers were paid through Barwood Films in 2022 and 2021: an “executive support” employee and the groundskeeper, who is responsible for managing the gardens at Streisand’s lavish, clifftop estate.
Streisand’s spokesperson told the Post that her gardener was not paid with taxpayer funds.
Streisand, whom Forbes said is worth an estimated $430 million, has featured her English-style garden on her Instagram. Home and Gardens once described her grounds as “an idyllic oasis,” with her social media photos showing that her estate overlooks the Pacific Ocean. The Post said the garden features manicured lawns, 3,000 rose bushes, waterways and a gravesite for the star’s Coton de Tulear dog Samantha, who died in 2017.
The Post said it confirmed that the gardener was employed by Barwood Films at the time the company took PPP loans to make payroll. The company, whose registered address is Streisand’s estate, qualified as “a small business” for taxpayer-funded assistance in 2020. —>READ MORE HERE
