It’s no secret that Donald Trump’s cabinet is richer than your nan’s Christmas pudding.
Todd Ricketts, Trump’s pick for deputy commerce secretary, has an estimated net worth of $4.5 billion, and the new secretary of commerce, Wilbur Ross, is worth $2.5bn.
Altogether, the cabinet is worth an estimated $14.5bn. That’s more than the GDP of 87 countries (or 14 countries combined,) according to UN data from 2014.
And Trump still has a few picks left to make.
Unsurprisingly, there are worries Trump’s cabinet will make decisions to benefit their own bulging bank accounts.
The man of the people’s cabinet includes a billionaire heiress, a former Goldman Sachs partner, which is weird, considering Trump has promised to “drain the swamp” of politicians to end corruption in government…
