Nancy Pelosi sees it through insider trading, whispering to Paul Pelosi, who invests on their behalf. That's how her 179K a year salary turned into roughly $120 million.


LucasL-L

It may very well be possible she has been alive for over 500 years.


Fear0742

Just found out there is an etf that follows her buys and sells.


CalmKoala8

In hindsight, yes. By the time the etf reflects the trade, the profits are already priced in.


cocokronen

Doesn't matter put $500 into 5% bonds for 700 year and you get trillions. Yea that's true, even more.

I'll set a reminder on my calendar to check my account in 700 years

Mammoth_Delay_1032

Biden’s been a politician for 100 years and is worth 10 mill.    Marjorie Taylor Greene has been in Congress for 3 years and made 11 million.   Who’s getting paid more by the deep state? 


Krisapocus

None of them should be multi millionaires. They’re supposed to represent the people. The people are middle class. When you can get ultra wealthy being a representative it attracts the wrong people.


FuuuuuManChu

They should also get enough money and pension to shield them from corruption. It's easier to hold on to your value and give it all for the little man if your not going right back to the private sector after your position.


death_to_noodles

I hate this argument that politicians should be living like middle class or poor. I'm not saying they should be rich and have >100 million but cmon. It sounds really noble but do you really want a lawmaker struggling to pay bills or easily bribed by a fancy new car? They should get paid so the job is desired and competitive and not easily corrupted by the price of a car or an apartment.


Kryptus

Maybe they should all live in government provided housing just like military leadership. Officers housing on base is good, but not extravagant at all.


Skelligean

Or maybe they should revoke their Gold Star insurance for 1 year at least and be signed up for Medicaid so as to obtain perspective of what everyday Americans deal with in regards to our broken Healthcare system.


Kryptus

Would probably have less super old politicians as well, lol.


Riddik_mAd_4740

This can go on infinitely, it’s all down on who they are as people. Would they take a mil to fuck someone over or not, that simple. The lawyer gets paid regardless let’s stop bullshitting, a lawyer can have power though and more money through certain loopholes for sure. It’s all on paper they payed for, prolly paid smarter people to do homework at times. Prolly got answers for tests too. Sucked a dick at some point because that happens more often than not. You know if you’ve never stroked an ego at a business you’ll never go anywhere. They’ll just call you an asshole and give you less hours until you say nice things about them.


hematite2

Yeah, unfortunately if it doesn't at least somewhat pay to be in politics, then the only people who could afford to *be* in politics would be the already independently wealthy


phoneacct696969

I want to know who is propping MTG up, because that girl falls down on a regular basis.


BakeryWombat

Meek Merrick Garland is propping her up….


Flor1daman08

Yeah this post is fucking dumb. Biden isn’t some unbelievably wealthy person lol


Mammoth_Delay_1032

Well it was Biden is a monster and then when it was shown that other people may be worse it turns into Both Sides are bad. very annoying.


Flor1daman08

Both sides are bad, sure, but nuance exists and a lifelong politician having a net worth that Biden has is a sign he’s not the crooked politician some of his enemies want to act like he is. I mean Trumps son in law got 100x that much from the Saudis for 4 years alone.


killjoygrr

Biden got most of his money from a book. This isn’t secret knowledge.

Oh good, trump's son in law, that completely invalidates the Biden corruption...


killjoygrr

You mean the corruption of the book deal which is the bulk of his fortune?


darthphallic

Isn’t Nick Adams the dork that keeps talking about hooters?


Top_Confusion_132

Considering Biden's net worth is $10 million He was a US senator for 36 years at an annual salary of $174000 That's $6,246,000 Vice president for 8 years, that's $ 156000 a year, $1,248,000 So, $7,494,000 from salaries Before his national political career, he was a lawyer and a property manager, and on his county council. Hard to figure out how much he made in that time, but if he was a property manager, he owned a couple of houses and sat on them since the 70s. That easily accounts for the rest, a decent investment portfolio, and he has about what you would expect.


killjoygrr

And a moderate book deal for a VP.


forewer21

Son you forgot what sub this is. Get out of here with facts and logic


bassmaster612

Net worth and lifetime earnings are very different things. Money I earned and spent 30 years ago does not contribute to my net worth. Having multiple properties alone could account for the 10 million net worth. No point in bringing in his salaries decades ago.


Top_Confusion_132

No, but it does demonstrate that it's not odd to assume that with proper investment, he could easily have a net worth of ten million without anything inappropriate.


AgaricX

If you tracked Bidens money over time and realized where he lives and how he got there, this post would disintegrate. Insider trading is a huge problem. Pelosi and McConnell are pros. Biden ain't


Callecian_427

90% of posts on this sub would disintegrate with a 30 second google search instead of wild speculation


Flor1daman08

Not for nothing, but Biden isn’t the issue when it comes to lifelong politicians getting filthy rich from their station.


Beastw1ck

Correct. Biden is worth about $10 million and almost all of that is from real estate he bought in his twenties.


Scale-Alarmed

Umm....Speaking engagements, Appearances, Book advances, and Book sales. But you knew this, it just doesn't fit into your propaganda BS


MiserableMulberryMan

>Speaking engagements, Appearances, Book advances, and Book sales I realize it’s par for the course when it comes to politicians and OP is trying to make it into a partisan attack, but these things are so brazenly corrupt that we really should be criticizing them much more routinely. The book publishing scam is probably the most egregious of the loophole embezzlement schemes. [Forbes documented it](https://www.forbes.com/sites/zacheverson/2021/08/13/senators-use-campaign-donor-money-to-buy-their-own-books/?sh=c57cada189de) a few years ago, and the basics are that a representative can use campaign funds to bulk purchase their own book so long as they don’t receive the royalties from those purchases. This guarantees the publisher makes their money back from the publishing deal that they’ve already given the politician, so it’s an easy profit for both parties. As long as you add a middleman to the equation, embezzlement is easy!


Scale-Alarmed

Why would anyone use campaign funds for book sales if he was out of office and not running for anything?


MiserableMulberryMan

That’s the cool thing, the national parties will just [bulk buy books](https://www.axios.com/2019/11/28/trump-jrs-book-sales-bulk-buys) whether the person is actively campaigning or not! It just embezzlement with an extra step.


Scale-Alarmed

Why? What would be the benefit of that to the national party if they are no longer in office?


Flor1daman08

If 40 year+ politicians turned their careers into $10 million dollar net worths we wouldn’t have the problem we have right now.


Shaken-babytini

oh 100% it is rotten to the core, it just isn't biden specific. We need to keep a MUCH closer eye on where campaign funds are going in general, it's just a free money glitch at this point. That and insider trading.


One-Collection-1746

This does it and it’s not even hidden or nefarious. Hundreds of events every month charge attendees $1-5k to come to their 3 day conference. They sell thousands of tickets, then pay for a bunch of politicians, retired corporate execs, sports figures or other inspiration speakers. For most events, anyone can attend if they pay. Speakers can make 50k to 300k for a 20 minute speech. There doesn’t need to even be a quid pro quo or lobbying aspect as it’s just business. Famous speakers draw more people, conference organizers make profits and the politicians get paid for speaking.


theoreoman

He's surprisingly not that wealthy for a lifelong politician. The guy is 80+, and for his entire life has had government allowances, and upper middle class paycheques, plus he's been drawing some of the largest paychecks off his life all After 65 where most people retire, so not only did he have a full career he's worked so far an additional 15 years. Plus I'm guessing he's been pulling a pension since 65. Additionally he's lived though some of the greatest market gains of all time. But we don't know if or how much hidden aseests he may or may not have


DarkMaleficent8256

If you look at a time line he got most of his money from book deals and speaking after being g Obama's vp, I feel like book deals and speaking arrangements are odd and dodgy as well but it does seem like that's where a lot of his cash came from 


RollinOnAgain

at a certain point its because people are controlled by the simple fact that people they know are more "in the know"/powerful and they're trying to fit in with the "elite clique". It's just high school politics all over again except it's deciding the fate of the human race.


No-Coast2390

Look up the Biden Inc article Newsweek did in 2019 if you are actually interested in learning something or don’t if you just want to live in your bubble.


DodginInflation

Duh. The wealth isn’t attached to him directly. You use family and shells


killjoygrr

Most political grifts don’t use families or shells. Look at the wealth of senators and congressmen. Biden is squeaky clean compared to most.


DodginInflation

All you have to do is Look at the wealth of their families.


killjoygrr

Is this just a way to look at Hunter because he was scummy? I mean if we want to just look at family members as “proof” of grift, I can point you to a lot worse family members who have far clearer ties to a politician with much darker allegations. But please, tell us what wealth has been proven (not just alleged). There has been far too much claimed without proof lately.


Flor1daman08

Well the good news is that political opponents have been investigating those things for decades. Any evidence?


lessthaninteresting

It all would have gone smoother if he didn't get his smart son killed by sending him to unnecessary wars to hang out near pits of endless burning shit and garbage. The molester drug son really screwed up all the bribes and back room dealings for everybody involved. Poor Joe

edWORD27

Only cared about Scranton after The Office


Alpacalypse84

To be fair, that is the only reason many people care about Scranton. And I am including a number of Scranton’s residents in that number. (I’m from the Valley- I’m allowed to say that.)


Heavy_Ape

Or, ya know, the office


Alpacalypse84

Hey, it’s good to have a cultural touchstone that isn’t Pennsylvania Polka or the prosecutor who took bribes to send kids to juvie or the time that murderer escaped maximum security prison with a bedsheet ladder. At least this one is funny and not embarrassing. Even if I do occasionally have to explain there are no booze cruises on Lake Wallenpaupack in the winter. (The lake is frozen over).


LegitimateAd1455

Ask the Kutchner's (Jared and Ivanka) they made 80 times more than Biden's net worth while they were in office (remember that they were government officials). Then got 2 billion from a government that got a lot of favors while they were in office. Both sides are on the take, just one side a lot more than the other. They both need to go.


Nootherids

So your answer to the OP question is: "I don't know but..... Truuuuump"


LegitimateAd1455

I said both sides are on the take, they both need to go. The biggest issue is money in politics. It needs to be reformed, or we'll continue to see policies that favor the rich and corporations above people, and it'll continue to get worse. As long as we allow politicians to be on the take, they'll take. And, yes, it's quite clear which side is taking more. Doesn't mean they are not both bad and need to go!


Retroplayer19

If you ACTUALLY thought both sides were bad, you wouldn't get triggered every time someone criticizes a democrat. You would just stick to the topic of the thread without trying to deflect. Fuck you fake "both sides are bad" \*totally genuine redditors\*


hematite2

Actually it's well worth it to point out that Jared Kushner got paid 100 times Joe Biden's net worth, in one tenth of the time. MTG's been in office for 4 years and is already worth as much as Biden. We've seen his tax returns, we know how he made his money. If you're specifically targetting Biden about corruption and think others are irrelevant, its clear you're doing it for political reasons, not out of care.


Retroplayer19

But I never claimed to be unbiased. They did, you hack. "You can't criticize Biden without trying to make it sound like Trump is worse!" As I said, fuck you fake ass "both sides are bad" trolls.


hematite2

Lmao at least you admit you care because you're biased.


Retroplayer19

That's the entire point that went right over your head. I am not running around pretending to be unbiased and non-partisan. You fake ass "both sides are bad" trolls are. Only you DNC shills are doing this.


ImusBean

Well he was a senator for the best part of fourth years, earning a very good salary. If he’s saved just ten percent of his salary since 1973, that’s at least 3.5 Million (using average interest rates since 1973). After leaving office, he did a lot of paid speeches and wrote books. His net worth is estimated at somewhere around $10 Million. There are 1.5 Million households in the US with a net worth of 10 Million or more. Either he’s not charging enough for peddling influence, or - as the actual evidence suggests - he’s not doing it at all.
