Matt Lauer Might Lose His $9.2 Million New Zealand Ranch - violated the country's "good character" requirement
Regulators are reviewing whether the former "Today" show anchor violated the country's "good character" requirement.

Former "Today" show host Matt Lauer had used his $25 million annual salary to secure quite a few plush homes over the years. But his firing from NBC amid reports of "inappropriate sexual behavior" could cost him a sheep and cattle farm along Lake Hawea in New Zealand.

Lauer and his wife had purchased the lease from the government this February, but his alleged misconduct may violate New Zealand’s behavior clause. According to the Overseas Investment Office, New Zealand requires all foreign investors to be “of good character,” and a government agency is now reviewing the agreement.

“The Overseas Investment Office is aware that allegations have been made in relation to Matt Lauer and that he is no longer working for NBC News in the USA,” Lisa Barrett, Deputy Chief Executive of Policy and Overseas Investment, told Page Six. “We are discussing this with his representative and are seeking further information.”

Government-owned land can only be leased, not bought, in New Zealand, which considers it a privilege for overseas persons to own or control its assets. Lauer spent an estimated $9.2 million to lease the 27,000-acre farm, called Hunter Valley Station, from holding agency Orange Lakes Ltd.

I know. America would be a much better place if we held people to a higher standard.

More ewwwwwwwwww factor from pervie Matt.


clipped

"Most recently, a 2009 clip of a Sandra Bullock interview, tied to her movie The Proposal has resurfaced, and it's … well, hard to watch.

Over the course of the four-minute interview, Lauer brings up Bullock's nude scene in the movie not once, but three times.

"The major thing that's changed since you were here last, I have now seen you naked," he tells Bullock.

"And I'm so sorry about that," the Oscar winner jokes. "Were you able to sleep afterward?"

"It's now my screensaver," he replies.

Rather than change the subject — even though it's clear Bullock would prefer he do so — Lauer plows right ahead. "You're naked for most of this movie," he tells her.

"I so am not," Bullock protests. "I'm not naked for most of this movie. Emotionally naked."

What follows is a notably awkward chat about romantic comedies and working with Ryan Reynolds. Yet right at the end — despite Bullock's obvious discomfort — Lauer can't help but bring it up again: "Did I mention you have a nude scene in this movie?"

"Pretty much from the time you opened this interview," she shoots back."

hahahhahaha

this country is selling itself off to the highest bidder at the fastest pace it can manage

the property here is actually advertised in China almost exclusively

Chinese come here in buses and drive around to auctions and outbid the local kiwis

Houses are $1,000,000 on average for a shack

average income here is $55,000

You only have to even get approval from the overseas investment office if it is a big business or farmland

and they just rubberstamp everything


Everyone is buying everything.

Well, every foreigner--American, Chinese, --everyone but local kiwis.

We can't afford to live here.
