Here's How Much Elizabeth Warren Is Really Worth
Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren ended her bid to become the next president of the United States on Mar. 5, 2020, but that certainly doesn't mean that she can't consider her career a resounding success. Honestly, it shouldn't be surprising that Warren has made major moves both as a politician and as a financial force, considering the fact that she has an impressive background that proves that she knows her stuff.
Warren is a graduate of both the University of Houston and Rutgers University, but those at Harvard Law School will also recognize her as someone who taught bankruptcy law as a professor at the Ivy League institution. Her knowledge in money matters is also why she was chosen to work as a special advisor for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau while President Barack Obama was in office.
On top of that, Warren "is often cited in the field of commercial law and is an active consumer protection advocate who helped establish the U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau," according to Celebrity Net Worth. Thanks to her valuable expertise and financial savviness, Warren is thought to have around $8 million. Although that might sound like a lot, it's pretty much in line with what some of the other Democratic candidates are banking (although it can't compare to one super-rich campaigner.)
Elizabeth Warren's wealth rivals other candidates' fortunes
Elizabeth Warren's may seem like a wildly wealthy woman when you find out just how much she's worth, but her fortune is right in line with what some of the other 2020 presidential candidates have in the bank. Former U.S. Vice President Joe Biden is someone you might think you know pretty darn well (but guess again!) His net worth is slightly more than Warren (if you can call a small fortune a slight amount) at about $9 million. While Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders doesn't have quite as much cheddar, he's still doing pretty well with somewhere in the range of $3 million to his name.
That may make it seem like the aforementioned trio of politicians is bringing in top dollar paychecks. However, even if you combine Warren, Biden, and Sanders' fortunes, they still can't come close to comparing to the kind of money that former New York City Mike Bloomberg was throwing around during his run for the White House. The media mogul boasts a staggering $65.2 billion in personal wealth. Um, whoa.
