Richard Nixon — $15 Million

Richard Nixon proved to the world how being born into an underprivileged family doesn’t stop one from achieving his dreams. His hard work paid off in years when he rolled from the office of the U.S. Senator to the Vice President and finally became the 37th President of the United States. These successes and his impressive work ethic helped the leader amass a net worth of fifteen million dollars.

Although Richard breathed his last in 1994, the remarkable books penned by him are still with us. Perhaps, his memoirs including ‘Six Crises’ and ‘Leaders,’ can help young politicians worldwide bring in positive changes.

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.

Donald Trump – $2.5 Billion

Former President Donald Trump has been a part of the billionaire club for over two decades now. Yet, interestingly he is the only wealthiest head of the state that the country has seen till now. The business magnate’s current net worth rests at $2.5 billion, and he isn’t shy of flaunting his vast assets.

Most of Donald’s fortune comes from his real-estate business, but he also has other side ventures that contribute to his wealth. Unfortunately, the media personality did face a few road bumps, which cost him a few million. Though it certainly didn’t burn a hole in his pocket, and Donald continues to enjoy his extravagant lifestyle.

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.

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.
