Condoleezza Rice – $8 Million

We are so glad that Condoleezza Rice switched lanes from dreaming of becoming a concert pianist to entering American politics. Apparently, her $8-million-worth bank account also agrees! After earning her PhD. from the University of Denver, she became a professor at Stanford University that led her to become an advisor to the ex-President of the United States, George H.W. Bush.

Rice was hired due to her specialized ability and knowledge about Soviet policies. When she was appointed, the diplomat created history as she was the first female and African-American to hold that position!
