[QUOTE="vvvvvvv, post: 2400906, member: 5151"] :thumbup3: This is actually the first time that the majority of people in Congress have a net worth of $1M or more. Democrats have a median net worth of $1.04M, and Republicans have a median net worth of $1M. In the House, it's Democrats $929,000 and Republicans $884,000 for an overall median of $896,000. In the Senate, it's Democrats $1.7M and Republicans $2.9M for an overall median of $2.7M. Democrats only fell in the Senate because John Kerry took his $248M to the executive branch and Frank Lautenberg's $87.5M went to his estate. Twenty-four have a negative net worth - 14 Republicans and 10 Democrats - all in the House. The House member with the least net worth is David Valadao (R-CA) at -$12.1M. The Senator with the least net worth is Mark Pryor (D-AR) at $8,500. In case you're wondering, the ranking of the current Oklahoma delegation (from poorest to richest): Rep. Jim Bridenstine: -$22.1K; Rep. James Lankford: $235K; Rep. Frank Lucas: $1.56M; Sen. Tom Coburn: $3.67M; Rep. Tom Cole: $4.36M; Markwayne Mullin: $5.94M; Sen. Jim Inhofe: $7.52M. (By the way, previous Congressmen: Rep. John Sullivan: $32.5K; Rep. Dan Boren: $2.20M.) ([URL="http://www.opensecrets.org/"]All data available here[/URL]. Data is from 2012 reports.) [/QUOTE]
