A two-week FOX News investigation, however, has uncovered where Wright will be spending a good deal of his time in retirement, and it is a far cry from the impoverished Chicago streets where the preacher led his ministry for 36 years.
\nFOX News has uncovered documents that indicate Wright is about to move to a 10,340-square-foot, four-bedroom home in suburban Chicago, currently under construction in a gated community.
\n[…]
\nDocuments show Wright sold the property to his church, Trinity United, in December 2006, with the proceeds going to a living trust shared with his wife, Ramah.
\nThe sale price for the land was just under $308,000, about $40,000 less than Wright\u2019s original purchase two years earlier.
\nPublic records of the sale show Trinity initially obtained a $10 million bank loan to purchase the property and build a new house on the land.
\nBut further investigation with tax and real estate attorneys showed that the church had actually secured a $1.6 million mortgage for the home purchase, and attached a $10 million line of credit, for reasons unspecified in the paperwork.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
