So, Graham's net worth was below "average."


I understand.

It’s just more interesting to me how incredibly exceptional so many of his colleagues seem to be.

You're an idiot.

I started this thread because I thought Graham's net worth would be 5-10 times what it was after being a senator for as long as he was.

that 1.4 plus his congressional salary/pension for the rest of his life is a pretty comfortable way to live. Much better than most.

It’s not better than most professionals, which is what he would have been had he not been in congress. In fact, it’s much worse.

Very interesting that he wasn’t an elite trader like many of his colleagues.

That alone made me respect him. He didn’t enrich himself like every other person in Congress does,

Also surprised me because he was so involved in the Ukraine money machine.


Yeah, actually makes me have some respect for him. Looks like he really did believe in the military operations he supported or advocated for and wasn't doing it to war profiteer, self enrich, or to make millions from insider trading... like many of his Congressional colleagues on both sides of the aisle. Unless they find out he was hiding a bunch of money off-shore or something.

I just don’t believe all the data is available yet. I’m curious why fox would put this information out 36 hours after the man died. Something is making my spider senses tingle.

Seems like this should be the approximate net worth of a lot more of his colleagues.


Seems like there is something to be said about the richest people being representatives so as to be less likely to be persuaded by money.

His foreign policy and love of Israel sucks, but he at least wasn't making himself obscenely wealthy off of tax dollars and getting his rocks off with hookers instead of interns. That pretty much puts you in the top 1% of ethical congressmen.

And now you're just lying.

As I said, you started this thread trying to burn a dead man and only showed that he was less crooked than his colleagues. You dunked on yourself.

You’d think a guy in his position would leave an estate bigger than that.

It indicates that the guy wasn’t in it for the money. He wasn’t married so he didn’t have to worry about a wife or family. He lived for the politics.

I made a post here a long time ago of my experience with many gay friends that I had in college and throughout my workplace life. I posted about their general character traits that were common. One of them was 'they make good money but do not manage it well at all.' Just sayin'.

Good to know he wasn't playing the system like many of them do (looking at you Pelosi).

I would say my 84 year old mom has a net work of 2.2 million (his upper estimate), and I can definitely say we were not from much of anything.

Surprised me too. In a good way... I just assumed all long term career politicians are filthy rich.
