Kerry $ ?
Including his wife's wealth, would Kerry be the richest President ever? It's estimated at upwards of $800,000,000.oo. That's a lot of scratch for a guy who Just Says No to special interest.

What do you think?

1. an "overwhelming" majority of it belongs to his wife

and they signed a pre-nup when they got married.

But you can go after his assets if you want. However, he doesn't take money from PACs.

2. Uhhh, the Bush family is about 200 times more wealthy
So, no, he wouldn't be the richest ever.

4. ??
The Bush family is worth... carry the two.... dot the i's..... divide the integer...$160B? I'd imagine that Teresa Heinz-Kerry is a bit wealthier than the Bushes. I could be wrong. remember, the Bushes are merely scumbag pawns. Puppets inserted by their wealthy overlords to do their bidding. from Harriman to Lay. All the way down. they're worse than evil masterminds: they're amoral shills.

But I think Kerry might be the richest -- including his wife's money, of course.

6. Actually
I was just wondering if John and teresa Kerry woud be the richest couple ever in the white House. Like I wrote. Just a question. I'm sure the Bushes are rich. But they are not the super-rich, elite rich. The Bushes WORK for those guys. And they're too stupid to get that rich. I like Kerry fine, though he does reek a bit of establishment. And I'd certainly prefer him 800,000,000 times over Bush.

No one seems able to answer the question, though. they just jump on me.

7. Well, I'll "dismount"
;) But I think you underestimate the wealth of the Bushes. I'd look up stats but I'm too sleepy.
