Looks like Alex Jones was preparing for the worst as he sat on trial against the victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre.
The “Infowars” host has transferred his $3 million Austin, Texas estate to his wife, Erika Wulff Jones, according to public property records.
On August 5, the controversial conspiracy theorist was ordered by a Texas jury to pay more than $45 million to the parents of one of the victims of the 2012 school shooting that killed 20 children and six adults.
The ruling came a day after Jones was also ordered to cough up $4.1 million in compensatory damages for claiming that the Newtown, Conn. school shooting was a hoax, designed to increase support for gun control.
Andino Reynal, Jone’s lawyer, had requested the penalty be under $300,000. “You’ve already sent a message. A message for the first time to a talk show host, to all talk show hosts, that their standard of care has to change,” said Reynal.
Jones had testified that any amount he owed over $2 million would “sink” Infowars’ parent company. However, a plaintiff-hired economist estimated Jones and his company were worth as much as $270 million, and that he withdrew $62 million for himself last year as he faced default judgments in lawsuits.
In the past year, he has been getting his finances in order, including his real estate assets.
Last month, as Jones faced mounting legal trouble, he filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Meanwhile, he transferred property over to his wife.
It is unclear how he plans to pay for the amount ordered. The Post has reached out for comment.
What we do know is that Jones has an expansive portfolio in the city of Austin. And the latest court ruling isn’t exactly going to keep him from living the luxe life.
