Politicians With Large Bank Accounts

Chuck Schumer – $1 Million

Chuck Schumer is the Senate Minority Leader after taking the position from Harry Reid. As one of the faces of the Democratic Party, Schumer has national appeal on both sides of the aisle. With that being said, Schumer is notoriously one of the least wealthy members of the Senate. Schumer has been in politics since 1999 and despite his high-profile work, he continues to barely crack the $1 million mark for his net worth. Schumer’s low net worth is a proponent of his own resistance to and opposition of political lobbying.
