Also, he is universally loved and adored both for his personality and oratory skills.

So, it brings us so much joy to know that Barack has enough to fall back on even in retirement.

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.

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.

Colin Powell – $60 Million

Upon recapitulating the late diplomat Sir Colin Powell’s life, we can safely say he has influenced numerous lives. He spent a significant number of years serving in the army, reaching the commander’s post even before concluding his bachelor’s degree. Such was the senator’s never-ending allegiance to the country that he was eventually appointed as the ‘National Security Advisor.’

Powell, undoubtedly, pulled in modest pay packages, considering his top-level political position. Yet, an ample chunk of his $60 million reserves can be credited to his biography’s release, which, reportedly, pocketed him a lavish $6 million cheque. As the ‘White House Fellowship’ awardee was survived by his family and countless followers, he continues to live on in their hearts.

Maxine Waters – $2 Million

It wouldn’t be wrong to say Maxine Waters is a self-made woman. Nonetheless, since she did not come from an affluent background, she worked various jobs to complete her education. Maxine then joined politics in 1973, and throughout her career, she has received numerous accolades for contributions.

The congresswoman has achieved a lot over the years, so naturally, we are curious about how much wealth she has amassed. Apart from having a net worth of $2 million, Maxine also has other assets, including a home in Los Angeles. The octogenarian isn’t ready to hit the pause button, so we assume the same goes with her splendid fortune.

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.

Andrew Cuomo — $5 Million

From serving as the Attorney General of New York to becoming the 56th Governor of New York, Andrew Cuomo has undeniably taken some great leaps in his career. Otherwise, who would believe that the teenager who distributed posters would grow up to become an eminent politician? After passing out of Fordham University, the lawyer worked as a campaign manager in his father’s state office.

Andrew’s hard work has earned him a sizeable fortune besides global fame. Now in his 60s, the lawyer boasts a net worth of nearly $5millions. We believe a decent portion of it comes from the sale of the books authored by him.
