Exactly how rich are the major candidates vying to be U.S. president in 2020?

To compile the list, Forbes examined various documents including financial disclosure statements, then did calculations according to pension benefits and real estate records. Some of the findings were unexpected.
Aside from Trump’s $3.1 billion and Tom Steyer’s $1.6 billion, the median net worth is $2 million. At the bottom of the list is Pete Buttigieg, who has an estimated $100,000.

We need serious Campaign Reform. Our corrupt Politicians are stealing and misusing the funds for Their Own gain.
Washington no longer works for the People but for the Rich and Big Business
No one should be allowed to contribute more than $10 PERIOD!!!!
Kamala Harris: $6 Million? Former DA San Francisco, Former Attorney General of California. Never worked outside of government…Alameda County DA Office, San Francisco city attorneys office, San Francisco DA Office. How did her net worth get to be $6 Million? Thus needs to be investigated.
Amen to that!! They all need to be investigated!
amen!
Shouldn’t that apply to Obama that is a nultibilliomare with having a business or work for 8 years
Both should be investigated
I’ve worked my whole life. I took care of my mom for the last 8 years (she had dementia, inter alia). My IRA is nearly depleted due to nursing home care her last year and my 3 surgeries in 2018. I cannot afford all of my prescription co pays each month and have to decide which 2 or 3 I might be able to live without for 30 days. If we are giving away FREE Rx let’s start with the seniors on social security, NEVER to an illegal alien. This should be a no brainer.
Kamala Harris is a whore who had a sexual affair with the then married Willie Brown. Willie Brown held many prominent positions in the American government… most recently as (former) San Francisco Mayor and as (former) assemblyman of Los Angeles. He admitted the affair, he admitted he arranged for Kamala Harris to be put on various government “boards”, and then made sure she was elected as San Francisco Attorney general, an elected position where she was greatly losing at the polls.
At that time, Harris had very little money, but she got into government and now she is a $6 million winner of the funds. How did she do that? Earned income? I doubt it. She followed suit of almost all of the politicians who fill political offices. Come in poor and go out richer than the word rich defines.
His father made a fortune from HUD, Trump inherent the property. Trump is getting government checks today. Just like his son- in- laws family. You know the slum landlords.
The only one I see that didn’t have his fingers perpetually in the government “cookie jar” is President Trump. Politics is second only to the Mafia in making people rich on other peoples’ hard work.
Harry Truman said, paraphrasing “You don’t get rich working in government, if you do your a thief.”
They get into government without a lot of money and they come out millionaires! HOW?
