Al Gore – $300 Million

Al Gore served as a vice-president when Bill Clinton was the President of the United States. He later tried to run for the position but was defeated. However, that defeat that did not create a dent in his earnings, as it is quite evident from the whopping $300 million figure! While serving the public doesn’t pay that well, being a successful entrepreneur, sure does!

He is on the board for many blue-chip companies and is known to be quite calculative when it comes to business decisions. Al has also directed an award-winning environmental documentary named An Inconvenient Truth.
