On Wednesday, U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and his wife, Louise Linton, visited the Bureau of Engraving and Printing to see the new $1 bills, which bear Mnuchin’s signature.

The press photographs show a smirking Mnuchin holding up a sheet of dollars. Meanwhile, Linton—who mocked a woman on Instagram this summer for not being rich—looks dead into the camera barely touching the money through her over-the-elbow black leather gloves.

The internet was quick to mock the photos.

Photos that show Linton looking ecstatic as Mnuchin holds up a sheet of money also made the rounds.

There are certainly worse villains to emulate.
