Politicians With Large Bank Accounts

Mark Dayton – $1.6 Billion

Mark Dayton was the 40th Governor of Minnesota. He also served as a U.S. Senator and a State Auditor for Minnesota, as well. Mark Dayton aligns with Democratic policy, but he is actually a member of the Democratic Farmer Labor Party. Dayton likely came into much of his wealth by way of marriage after he married Alida Ferry Rockefeller back in 1978. Dayton has been serving in some political fashion since the ’60s when he was a protestor of the Vietnam War. He would go on to serve in Walter Mondale in the ’70s before fully committing himself to politics. Dayton was also one of the most prominent voices in voting against the War in Iraq. He has since faded away from politics due to how jaded the job has made him.
