The richest politicians in the United States share a fortune estimated at US$9.02 billion (around CAN$12.5 billion), the financial magazine Finbold revealed earlier this week.
According to this compilation, seven of the politicians in the top 10 are Republican, including real estate mogul and former President Donald Trump, who ranks second with a fortune estimated at around US$2 billion (2 .7 billion CAN$).
However, it is a Democrat, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, who occupies the top of the pyramid with assets estimated at US$3.4 billion (approximately CAN$4.6 billion).
It must be said that the disparities within this list are immense. The politician who comes in 10th place, Virginia Democratic Senator Mark Warner, actually has only US$215 million, 16 times less than Mr. Pritzker.
The top 10 richest American politicians, in US dollars:
1 – JB Pritzker, governor of Illinois, Democrat: $3.4 billion
2 – Donald Trump, 45th president, Republican: $2 billion
3 – Doug Burgum, governor of North Dakota, Republican: $1.1 billion
4 – Darrell Issa, Congressional Representative for California’s 48th District, Republican: $0.46 billion
5 – Jim Justice, Governor of West Virginia, Republican: 0.45 billion
6 – Jared Polis, governor of Colorado, Democrat: 0.4 billion
7 – Glen Youngkin, governor of Virginia, Republican: 0.4 billion
8 – Mitt Romney, senator from Utah, Republican: 0.3 billion
9 – Rick Scott, senator from Florida, Republican: 0.3 billion
