Joe Manchin – $5 Million

In 2021, the American politician Joe Manchin assumed office as the Chair of the Senate Energy Committee, and his selection was relatively controversial. After all, outlets such as OpenSecrets.org reported that Manchin made at least $4.9 million from coal companies during his tenure as the United States senator from West Virginia.

Self-described as a “moderate conservative Democrat,” Manchin gets a yearly salary of $174K and is said to have a net worth of $5 million (which is most likely an understated number). During his free time, Manchin reportedly loves to spend time aboard his $250K boat.
