Anne Hathway paid ex-boyfriend’s $37,000 rent

According to a new Vanity Fair article, Anne Hathaway paid her ex-boyfriend Raffaello Follieri’s $37,000 monthly rent for four months until his lease ran out. (That’s close to $150,000. Must be nice to have that kind of money to spare.) The pair met in spring 2004, but shortly after it was reported by the media that he was involved in illegal activities, she broke up with him over the phone.  By then, he was staying at his parents’ place at Trump Tower. Just hours after the tearful breakup, Follieri was arrested by the FBI on charges of money laundering and wire fraud. According to the feds, he conned a group of multimillionaire investors to buy properties that the Catholic Church was supposedly looking to sell. Hathaway should’ve paid more attention to her dad’s instincts. Back in 2005, Jerry Hathaway grew suspicious of Follieri and hired a private eye to investigate the alleged con man. Hey, if your daughter’s paying her “rich” boyfriend’s ridiculously high rent, who wouldn’t want her to get rid of the bum?
