The couple reportedly lives in a $4.8 million home in LA, a figure that startled many. Fox News host Tucker Carlson had, in fact, confronted Waters, asking how a congresswoman could afford a multi-million property, a question which Maxine later said was racist.  

Waters told New York Magazine, “He doesn’t know anything about my investments, about the house that I’ve lived in for 25, 30 years. This idea of ‘how could she afford that?’ is racist, and I just dismiss it.”
