Money Magazine has outlined the net worth of the major contenders.
Candidate Net Worth
Mitt and Ann Romney ----------------$202 million
John and Elizabeth Edwards ---------$54.7 million
Rudy Giuliani ----------------------$52.2 million
John and Cindy McCain --------------$40.4 million
Hillary and Bill Clinton----------- $34.9 million
Fred Thompson ----------------------$8.1 million
Barack and Michelle Obama---------- $1.3 million
The only reason the Obamas paid off their student loans is because he wrote a couple of books; so, their net worth doesn't surprise me.
I thought Thompson's would be more. He has been an actor for forever.
I do believe that McCain's money comes from his wife.
I think it's insane that Giuliani thinks that the public doesn't have a right to know who he's been doing business with. We already know that he had no problem cashing Hugo Chavez's checks; so, what other unseemly character's checks has he cashed.
John Edwards earned his money by winning for his clients; I have no problems with that.
I do have a problem that the Clintons STILL won't pony up about whose been paying Bill to make those speeches.
As for Flipping Mitt: born rich,he's a perfect piece of plastic, which probably made him a very good businessman.

This might give some idea (not in all cases) about who they will serve if coronated President.
I knew Edwards had deep pockets, but I didn't know he was that high on the list. I didn't think he would be ahead of the Clintons.
Obama is the only one with anything close to a realistic income...an income that matches his position. Looking at the distance between him and the rest of the pack you get the idea that perhaps he will represent a change.
