Manafort helped run successful presidential campaigns for Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush and Trump. He served as a strategist and advocate for Philippine strongman Ferdinand Marcos and Zaire’s ruthless ruler Mobutu Sese Seko. He lobbied for and advised Kremlin-backed Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovich. And he became very wealthy, so much so that prosecutors say he spent millions renovating a house and $520,400 in clothes from one Beverly Hills business alone. Where did he shop? No one on Rodeo Drive was saying, but former partner Roger Stone Jr. says Manafort does have “excellent taste when it came to suits and ties.”
