Grover Cleveland, 1885-1889, 1893-1897 – $28.3 Million
Praised for his self-reliance and honesty, Grover Cleveland did not show a lot of initiative. He served as the watchdog of Congress. He was worth $28.3 million, much of which he inherited from his wife, whose father was a wealthy attorney. Cleveland added to his riches through his law practice and speculation in real estate. Notable among these was the Westland Mansion in New Jersey.
This Founding Father brought about the “Era of Good Feelings”. Care to take a shot at who this is?
