Politicians With Large Bank Accounts

Bill Haslam – $2.3 Billion

Bill Haslam is one of the wealthiest people in the world. He is a high-profile member of the Republican Party and the 49th Governor of Tennessee. Haslam graduated from Emory  University where he was quick to jump into the business world alongside his father, Jim Haslam. Bill Haslam would become President of Pilot Corp back in the ’90s and he would go on to start his own chain of department stores, Saks Fifth Avenue. Haslam would make the majority of his wealth as a consultant at Saks while also serving on the Board of Directors for Harold’s Stores. Haslam stepped away from the governorship in 2018 and has since retreated from the public eye to a certain degree. At one point in time, Haslam was the second wealthiest governor in the country.
