Politicians With Large Bank Accounts

Mitch McConnell – $225 Million

Mitch McConnell is probably the most divisive figure in politics since, well, ever. McConnell is the Senate Majority Leader for the Republican Party, and he has been an opposing force for all things progressive since he first began his career in politics decades ago. McConnell has cashed in on his work as a politician with notable contributions from fossil fuel companies. McConnell’s entire net worth has been derived from his career in Washington D.C. McConnell has operated as the Assistant Attorney General, the Senate Majority Whip, and of course, the Senate Majority Leader. McConnell earns more than $200,000 per year in base salary for his work but that seems like just an allowance compared to his other income streams.
