Kathleen Willey — $1.1 Million

Leading a quiet life from the start, Kathleen Willey doesn’t seem like she likes the attention she gets. For instance, most people got to know her after she was infamously portrayed in the TV series ‘Impeachment: American Cr**e Story’ for a messy event with the then-President, Bill Clinton.

Willey served as a volunteer aide in the white house during the same tenure, later joining Donald Trump for the second presidential debate to express her grievances against the Clintons. Most of her funds come from rare appearances on TV and campaigns, summing up her net worth to $1.1 million. Currently living and working in Powhatan County, Willey is living a life away from the public.

Ted Cruz – $4 Million

Ted Cruz is one of the most successful and well-known politicians in the United States. His rise to stardom began in 2003 when he worked as a Texas state senator. Since then, Cruz has become a prominent figure on both the national and international stage, wielding considerable influence in Washington and beyond.

Cruz has advocated for a wide range of causes and policies throughout his career, looking out for the people in his constituency. He points out that much of his wealth comes from donors who support his various political platforms. There’s no doubt that thee politician’s $4 Million net worth makes him one of today’s most influential political figures.

Hillary Rodham – $120 Million

Hillary Rodham Clinton is a woman of many firsts. Her sheer determination and hard work have seen her accrue a whopping $120 Million. Apart from being a renowned politician, Hillary is also an excellent lawyer. In fact, before joining the White House, she was a partner at Little Rock Law Firm and brought home more than her husband, making her the breadwinner.

But all her money doesn’t come from just the jobs she has had as a politician. Hillary has made decent money from authoring books and public speaking engagements, which have earned her millions. Talk about multiple streams of income!

Condoleezza Rice – $12 Million

You might know her as a diplomat and politician, but there’s so much more to Condoleezza Rice than meets the eye. In addition to serving as a board member for several companies, Rice is also a founding partner of ‘The Rice Hadley Group’, a consultancy firm that specializes in business development.

In addition to that, the politician, who has authored more than ten books, is also a lecturer of political science at Stanford University and a director of the school’s Hoover Institution. One thing’s for sure—Rice’s undeterred resolve is the reason why she’s among the world’s most powerful women and has amassed enviable wealth.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez – $511K

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s difficult background has always been the fuel that drives the New York representative to work hard. Cortez’s first job would be waiting tables, and while she did not earn much from this role, it helped prevent her family’s home from being foreclosed on.

The politician would then get a job as an organizer for a presidential candidate. Thanks to the opportunity, as she traveled across different states, she realized that a career as a politician wouldn’t be as improbable as she had initially thought. Besides her basic salary, Cortez’s living expenses are catered for, and she also gets retirement benefits, making her worth $511K .

Al Gore – $300 Million

While Al Gore is undoubtedly a brilliant politician whose impact while he served in a public office cannot be denied, he is an even better businessman, in our opinion, thanks to his ability to seize opportunities as soon as they arise. After the release of his documentary, ‘An Inconvenient Truth’ which earned an Academy Award, the ex-politician embarked on a speaking tour, charging a minimum of $175,000 for a single speaking event.

Soon after, Gore would launch ‘Current TV,’ a cable news network that he would later sell to Al Jazeera for $500 million. The former vice president owns about 100,000 shares of ‘Apple,’ where he is also a board member. See why we praise his business acumen?

Arnold Schwarzenegger – $450 Million

The only reason Arnold Schwarzenegger got into politics was to serve his people. The man didn’t need the fame, hefty pay, or benefits that came with being a legislature, as he already had all that before he was a lawmaker. If anything, long before he became a Hollywood star, Schwarzenegger had already gained ‘millionaire’ status from different investments and business ventures.

The governor of California has invested heavily in bonds and in the real estate sector. He is a co-owner of several restaurants across America. To Schwarzenegger though, money doesn’t make anyone happy as he is just as happy with a $450 million net worth as he was when he had way less.
