McCain Mogul (Ex) Mansion Faces Foreclosure
5:55 pm, July 27th | by Amy Tennery
In case you were wondering, there is a reason that Cindy McCain is on our power grid. She’s the heir and chair of Hensley & Company, a massive beer distribution company. So, yea, she’s got mogul clout.
With this in mind, it’s ironic that her childhood home is now, apparently, facing foreclosure. Really.
