It’s interesting to see the individual net worth for the candidates. As you can see, they have made money in several different ways. You have your attorneys. You have your businessmen and women. Then you also have your lifelong politicians.
Did any of the candidates net worth surprise you?

Jason I heard that Donald Trump’s net worth is much lower than that. That’s the net worth estimated by him, however he overestimates the value of his name with quite a bit.
I’m actually kind of surprised to see a few of these. I would have expected those like Sanders, Rubio, and O’Malley. Assets in their spouses names? Or perhaps since their government pensions will cover them in retirement.
Wow, very cool that my net worth is the same or higher than a bunch of these folks that are < $1 million. Obviously, no one can come to touching Trump :-).
