Politicians With Large Bank Accounts

Rick Scott – $149 Million

Rick Scott is a U.S. Senator from the State of Florida. Scott recently edged out Bill Nelson in the 2018 Senate Elections and now he is firmly entrenched in office once again. Scott had served as the Governor of Florida since 2011 until he was succeeded by Ron DeSantis. Scott has an astronomical net worth due in large part to his work in law and healthcare. After retiring from the Navy, Scott would go on to create the Columbia Hospital Corporation. The Columbia Hospital Corporation has since become one of the largest for-profit healthcare companies in the country.  The company would be shuttered after Scott and Columbia were fined by the Department of Justice for health care fraud. Scott was not charged with a crime.
