The Wall Street Journal reports that four of President-elect Donald Trump's Cabinet choices have a combined net worth of at least $8.1 billion.

The total includes the net worths of commerce secretary pick Wilbur Ross, deputy commerce secretary choice Todd Ricketts, Treasury secretary pick Steven Mnuchin and Education Department secretary choice Betsy DeVos.

WSJ says the combined net worth of all four is more than four times the net worth of President Barack Obama's appointees for those posts in 2013 and about 20 times the worth of President George W. Bush's picks at the outset of his second term, according to inflation-adjusted analysis.
