Senators and money

The senators running for president came out yesterday saying how poor they used to be and here is what they are worth today. Micheal Bennet $16 million Cory Booker $1.5 million Kamala Harris $6 million Joe Biden $15 million Amy Kloberchar $1.5 million Bernie Sanders $2.5 million Eliz Warren $12 million They all seemed to be a little embarrassed about their current financial status. There is nothing wrong with being financially successful but does this give the impression that the way to get rich is to become a senator. Poor Mayor Pete is practically broke but of course his hasn't yet made it to Washington.
