Whoopi Goldberg claims she understands Trump voters because she's struggling financially too - despite owning a $16 million property portfolio.  

The comedian, 69, cried poverty on The View this week as she complained that she is a 'working person' and her 'kid has to feed her family.' 

'I appreciate that people are having a hard time, and me too - I work for a living,' Goldberg - real name Caryn Johnson - said. 'If I had all the money in the world I would not be here.' 

But the Ghost and Sister Act star instantly raised eyebrows with the remark, with The Sun reporting in 2022 that she trousers $8 million a year just for hosting The View.  

The EGOT also owns at least four fabulous homes; mansions in New Jersey and Upstate New York, a SoHo loft in NYC and colonial-style property in Connecticut.
