List of Presidents of the United States by net worth
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Donald Trump, the current and wealthiest U.S. President
George Washington, the first U.S. President and third wealthiest President
Widely considered one of the greatest U.S. Presidents, Abraham Lincoln was also one of the poorest in terms of net worth
The peak wealth of Presidents of the United States has varied considerably. Debt and depreciation often meant that Presidents often had a negative net worth at the time of their deaths.[1]
Most U.S. presidents before 1845 were extremely wealthy, including Andrew Jackson, who was born into poverty,[2] and George Washington. Many of these early presidents were landowners, and some of them owned plantations, including their own slaves.[3][4]
Presidents since 1929 (when Herbert Hoover took office) have generally been wealthier than before; all except Harry Truman were millionaires. These presidents have often received income from autobiographies and other writing;[5] other than John F. Kennedy (who died in office in 1963), all presidents beginning with Calvin Coolidge have written autobiographies. In addition, many presidents received considerable income from public speaking after retirement, such as Bill Clinton.[6][7]
The richest president in U.S. history is President Donald J. Trump, who is the first billionaire president.[8][9] The exact extent of Trump's net worth is unknown and is given varying estimates due to the Trump Organization being privately held and the valuation for his naming rights being difficult to define.[10] By estimate, Trump is also wealthier than all former U.S. presidents combined.[11][12]
The figures in the table below are all from 24/7 Wall St.'s 2016 valuation of each president's peak net worth, which can be after they left office.[13] To allow direct comparison, all of the figures have been adjusted for inflation to 2016 dollars.
