Elizabeth Warren – $8 million

U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren is a Democratic politician and former law professor who built herself an $8 million worth. The lawmaker grew up in a middle-class household in Oaklahoma and, with perseverance, worked her way up to landing a prestigious job as a professor at Harvard. 

Warren has tried to run for President on several occasions. In her 2020 campaign, she decided to drop out after the Massachusetts Senator’s poor turn-out at the Super Tuesday showings, leaving Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders as the last major contenders to challenge Trump.
