The Wealth of U.S. Members of Congress: A Comprehensive Review
In a comprehensive study from the 115th Congress, the combined wealth of all members at that time amounted to at least $2.43 billion, marking a 20 percent increase compared to the preceding Congress. This growth occurred during a period when both the Dow Jones Industrial Average and Standard & Poor’s 500 Index experienced gains of slightly under 10 percent. Furthermore, the median minimum net worth of today’s senators and House members stood at $511,000 at the beginning of this Congress, reflecting a 16 percent rise over just two years. This figure is five times higher than the median net worth of an American household, estimated at $97,300 by the Federal Reserve in 2016 (Hawkings, 2018).
