The Definitive Net Worth Of Donald Trump’s Cabinet


https://www.forbes.com/sites/michelatin ... e7b54f6a15


"Want a stable government job? Don’t join Donald Trump’s cabinet. In just two and a half years, the president has replaced 12 of his 23 cabinet positions—some more than once. The current lineup includes 17 millionaires, 2 centimillionaires and 1 billionaire. They’re worth $3.2 billion in all, just a hair more than the president himself.

Amid all the upheaval, the richest have stayed in place. Betsy DeVos (secretary of education, $2 billion), Wilbur Ross (commerce, $600 million) and Steven Mnuchin (treasury, $400 million)—who have all been around since February 2017—make up 95% of that $3.2 billion total.

“I want people who have made a fortune,” Trump told a crowd of supporters in Des Moines, Iowa, on his “thank you tour” after winning the 2016 election. “You watch what’s going to happen.”


What did happen? The economy soared—and so did the number of ethics scandals. As a result, the plutocrats seem increasingly skittish, and these days, the only people who appear willing to take top roles in the Trump administration are the kinds of bureaucrats who have stocked presidential cabinets for decades. They’re well off—millionaires like William Barr and Andrew Wheeler—but far from being members of the ultrarich.

Below, a peek inside the wallet of every cabinet official."

Mulvaney is no longer a cabinet member, he's the Special Envoy for Northern Ireland.
