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.
