Laura bush net worth

The list of presidents of the United States by net worth at peak varies greatly. Debt and depreciation often means that presidents' net worth is less than $0 at the time of death.^[1]Most presidents before 1845 were extremely wealthy, especially Andrew Jackson and George Washington.

Presidents since 1929, when Herbert Hoover took office, have generally been wealthier than presidents of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries; with the exception of Harry S. Truman, all presidents since this time have been millionaires.

These presidents have often received income from autobiographies and other writing.^[2] Except for Franklin D. Roosevelt and John F. Kennedy (both of whom died while in office), all presidents beginning with Calvin Coolidgehave written autobiographies.

In addition, many presidents—including Bill Clinton—have earned considerable income from public speaking after leaving office.^&#
