The first 25 presidents of the United States
Our new comparison is adjusted to $20 16, the fate of the richest American president. The bigger the circle, the greater the fortune. Starting from james polk, we provided a photo of the president to people worth more than $50 million. We also added color coding to supplement the size, so that you can easily see how the wealth is stacked together.
Can we have a look at this? On the one hand, Trump's personal wealth far exceeds that of anyone else. In fact, he is more than other American presidents combined ($3.5 billion, about $654.38+$90 million). We can even say that his wealth is "born".
Secondly, it can be said that American presidents are relatively rich, with a few exceptions. Harry Truman (1945- 1953) was the only president after World War II who earned less than 1953 dollars. Every CEO in modern American history is worth more than $5 million, thanks to book contracts and money-making speeches.
It should be said in a word, compare the personal net assets since this century. For example, if you want to calculate the land value of George Washington today, you need various assumptions. More importantly, Trump's fortune depends on a vague concept called "goodwill". It's too simple. Goodwill is when you add value with your brand. You can think of it this way: if you add a logo to a sweatshirt, it will suddenly become more valuable because it is associated with a positive brand. Trump famously said that his wealth depends on his feelings, which is not accurate, but you get it.

Donald Trump is by far the richest president in history. He is more than six times richer than another man in George Washington. In other words, there were many other rich people in this country in the past, especially the previous presidents. This shows that although no other president is as rich as Trump, it is quite a good choice for the next leader to be at least a millionaire.
