Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors has reportedly spent tens of thousands renovating the back yard of one of the luxury homes she purchased following massive donations to her organization spurred by the death of criminal George Floyd.
Cullors, who first gained notoriety more than five years ago when video surfaced revealing she described herself and other Black Lives Matter activists as “trained Marxists,” was busted as the owner of at least four expensive homes – houses that border on mansions, really – purchased after Black Lives Matter ascended to the national stage.
Having resigned from the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation after her mansion collection was exposed, Cullors is now apparently using savings to renovate her home’s back yard.
According to images obtained by the New York Post, Cullors installed a children’s play area to the home, and “images reveal a deep plunge pool that has yet to have water added, as well as a small shed that houses the sauna.”

Cullors spent $1.4 million on the posh home in March of 2021, the Post reported. The residence boasts 2,580 square feet, three bedrooms, three bathrooms, and – according to the Post – a sauna in the back yard for entertaining.
Though she appears to be living in this more modest $1.4 million home, one of the residences she acquired during her real estate spending spree was a $6 million party house. She’s also accused of funneling the organization’s money – much of it donated from liberal celebrities – to family members.
While it seems Cullors has tried to distance herself from the Black Lives Matter movement since her mansion collection was exposed last year, the organization she left behind remains drenched in drama to this day.
Only last month a lawsuit against its new leader, Shalomyah Bowers, claims that he is a “rogue administrator” who used his position to rip off millions from the far left nonprofit and enhance his own lifestyle.
It’s alleged that Bowers’ “self dealing” resulted in the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation losing “eight figure” sums to the man.
Ironically, Bowers was hired by Cullors in 2020 “to help raise and distribute money to groups within the foundation.”
More recently, American music mogul Kanye West wore a “White Lives Matter” shirt to a fashion event and later declared that Black Lives Matter is a “scam” that is now “over.”
