U.S. Representatives and Senators are elected to Capitol Hill to represent the interests of all Americans. However, based on the reported net worth of sitting U.S. senators, it appears that many legislators may not be able to relate to the day-to-day lives of ordinary people.
Senators are paid a salary of $174,000 per year — more than triple the average wage across all American workers of $53,490 and higher than the median earnings of even the best-paying jobs in America. Senate majority and minority leaders make even more — $193,400 annually. Further, according to the U.S. Federal Reserve, the typical American family has a net worth of about $97,300. Meanwhile, the estimated median net worth among sitting U.S. senators is around $2.4 million.
Using data compiled by OpenSecrets.org, a nonprofit research organization, 24/7 Wall St. reviewed the estimated net worth of sitting U.S. senators. Net worth figures are rounded estimates derived from financial disclosure forms filed in 2019 and are not necessarily comprehensive or exact. We also reviewed senator approval ratings in the fourth quarter of 2019 from Morning Consult, a public opinion research company.
Wealth is not necessary to run for national office. In fact, a handful of lawmakers have financial liabilities that outweigh their assets. Still, these senators are the exceptions to the rule.
Campaigning requires significant investments of time and money that working-class Americans may have more trouble shouldering than wealthier ones. High-net-worth Americans are also more likely to be well connected, acquainted with powerful business leaders and other affluent individuals — and those connections can prove critical for campaign fundraising.
Of course, a politician’s popularity is subject to a wide range of factors. And while being worth millions of dollars may make it more difficult for senators to relate to the hardships faced by many of their constituents, net worth does not appear to have a meaningful effect on approval ratings. Senators with high approval ratings fall on either end of the wealth spectrum, as do their less popular counterparts. Here is a look at America’s most and least popular senators.

Methodology
To determine how rich every U.S. Senator is, 24/7 Wall St. reviewed figures reported in financial disclosure forms compiled by OpenSecrets.org, a nonprofit research organization. Lawmakers are required to file financial disclosures on May 15 of each year. For the majority of senators on this list, net worth estimates were filed in 2019 and reflect dollar values current as of 2018.
Net-worth estimates were calculated by summing the filer’s assets and subtracting any listed liabilities. Assets and liabilities are reported in ranges rather than exact figures. As a result, for the purposes of this story, each senator’s estimated net worth reflects the average of their lowest possible net worth and their highest. Net worth estimates do not necessarily include the value of the listed senator’s home. A more detailed description of the calculation methods that OpenSecrets.org used is available here.
For a handful of sitting senators, 2018 data was not available. In these cases, financial disclosures from the most recent available year were used and that year is noted. Net worth estimates are not available for senators who took office in 2019 or later.
Senator approval and disapproval ratings are from Morning Consult, a public opinion data research company. Senator approval ratings are current as of the fourth quarter of 2019 and are based on public opinion in a given senator’s state.
