Bette Midler has said she can no longer afford to live in Midtown Manhattan after receiving her 2027 tax bill from Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s City Hall.
The entertainer, a vocal supporter of Mamdani during his mayoral campaign, said she backed him on the understanding that his tax policies would target billionaires. She now says the burden has fallen on homeowners like herself instead.
“This isn’t my second home,” Midler said. “I shouldn’t have to give him 20 percent of my net worth just because I have many homes. Only four of them are even in New York.”

Midler said she campaigned vigorously for Mamdani, thinking he’d go after billionaires. She added that she has “about $900 million to go” before reaching billionaire status herself.
