Politicians With Large Bank Accounts

Dave Trott – $119 Million

Very few politicians on our list will have found their wealth prior to politics but Dave Trott is one of them. Dave Trott is a former State Representative from Michigan’s 11th Congressional District. Trott first worked at a huge law firm where he established the bulk of his personal wealth. Trott found the U.S. Housing Collapse in the early ’00s as the perfect opportunity to really develop his wealth as he made bank evicting homeowners. Trott quickly earned the nickname, ‘The Foreclosure King’. Trott also made national headlines for refusing to hold Town Hall meetings for his constituents while deliberately editing meetings with his constituents in order to make them look bad. Trott chose to get out of politics in 2018 and is now comfortably retired.
