Millard Fillmore, 1850-1853 – $4 Million
Millard Fillmore was one of the five “presidents through accident.” He came to office when Taylor (the incumbent) died from gastroenteritis. His net worth was $4 million. Though Fillmore did not have wealth, he had had a little formal education. All he had to show for himself was a house in East Aurora, New York. Though he had no eye for financial planning on retirement he remained bent on self-improvement.
