Elijah Cummings – $1.3 Million

The gentleman had a successful political career being a long-serving senior Congressman before his passing at 68 years of age in 2019. While in office, Elijah Cummings earned a salary of $174K, which undoubtedly contributed to that accumulated wealth of $1.3 million. He was survived by a wife and three children who have since taken over his estate.

Cummings is fondly remembered for serving on the Committee of Transportation, streamlining infrastructure and transportation of hazardous materials. The policies that the dedicated leader put in place are still holding strong, and he will always hold a special place in the hearts of the people he served.

Kamala Harris – $6.3 Million

We all saw Kamala Harris’ political footing rise to top levels upon getting elected as the 49th vice president of the US. Not just that, being the first woman to have achieved the laurel, she’s emerged as a shining example for all. Besides, what people hold in highest regard about the stateswoman, she’s utterly guileless about the source of her $6.3 million wealth, which is a rare trait to be found!

Speaking of self-made celebrities, Harris wins all appreciation here as she hails from a humble background. Yet, she maneuvered through hard toil to amass such riches, which only ballooned further following the power lady’s investment in real estate.

Mike Pence – $1 Million

Mike Pence has not had the best of luck with his finances, but still, a $1 million net worth is not bad by any account. Considering the influence and reach he has, and that most of his money comes from once being a governor of Indiana, this is certainly something.

Anyway, we know that this is just the stepping stone for Mike because he has quite the resume. Apart from being a past governor, he has also been a broadcaster and a vice president! We truly cannot wait to see what the future holds for him, and we will be here for it.

Nancy Pelosi – $120 Million

We don’t know what intent others pursue a career in politics for, but as far as Nancy Pelosi is concerned, she has, since long, a dream to make America better for all. With this purpose in mind and support from parents well-versed in state affairs, she gained a degree in political science, and boy did the ‘US House’ presiding officer achieve some substantive results during her 18 terms in office.

Along with being a government worker, Pelosi is a celebrated human rights and civil activist who has managed to win in the financial realm equally well. With funds amounting to $120 million, we bet she has a dependable retirement plan to fall back on.

Barack Obama – $70 Million

Becoming the first African-American President of the United States of America certainly has its advantages. Barack Obama made history in 2008 when he emerged as the 44th president creating an unforgettable moment before our very eyes. Also, he is universally loved and adored both for his personality and oratory skills.

He has had quite the career path and is now worth $70 million due to his other business ventures unrelated to politics. During his time, he fought for justice and freedom for all, and the policies he signed into place showed it too. So, it brings us so much joy to know that Barack has enough to fall back on even in retirement.
