What Are The Current Presidential Candidates Worth?


Every time you see a politician sitting down for a meal with some quote regular people, they're simply trying to earn your vote by showing you how much like you they are. Most people just won't vote for a candidate who isn't relatable.

The problem is, statistically, these candidates aren't like you.

Besides the fact Hillary Clinton went to Yale and was First Lady of Arkansas and the United States, not to mention a Senator and Secretary of State, she and her husband are worth somewhere in the area of $55 million, putting them in the top 10% of the 1%. That puts them just a tad ahead of $51,000, what the average US household brings in each year.

So, that got us thinking: what are the other 2016 presidential candidates worth?
