Politicians With Large Bank Accounts

John Kerry – $194 Million

John Kerry has been a political mainstay since the early ’00s. Kerry first rose to national prominence in 2004 when he ran against incumbent President George W. Bush. While Kerry did not win, he managed to create an avenue for a career in politics. Kerry would go on to work as the Secretary of State for President Barack Obama. Kerry has also served as a U.S. Senator, the Lieutenant Governor of Massachusetts, and is even a veteran of the Vietnam War.  The majority of Kerry’s enormous net worth has come via book deals and speaking engagements with his political career giving him the outreach required to bring in an audience.
