Who is the top ten most richest people?

Answer 1

Due to inflation and changing values of land, it is really impossible who was richest. Also, at what point do you want to measure wealth -- at death? at its peak? average wealth over a lifetime? Here is a list of some who died with a lot of money

1. George Washington 1789-1797 - inheritance, plantations

2. Thomas Jefferson 1801-1809 - inheritance, plantations

3. Andrew Jackson 1829-1837 - land speculation, plantations (started with virtually nothing.)

4. Zachary Taylor 1849-1850 - inheritance, plantations, army pay.

5. Theodore Roosevelt 1901-1909 - inheritance

6. Herbert Hoover 1929-1933 - mining, investments (started with virtually nothing)

7. Franklin Delano Roosevelt 1933-1945 - inheritance

8. John F. Kennedy 1961-1963 - inheritance

9. Lyndon B. Johnson 1963-1969 - TV and radio stations, real estate (started with virtually nothing)

Of the living presidents, George H. W. Bush made a lot of money from his oil business, George W. Bush did well with his investments, Bill Clinton and his wife now make millions from speaking engagements. Barack Obama has already made good money from his books and stands to make millions after he leaves the White House from speaking and corporate boards. Jimmy Carter does not have to worry about money, but concentrates on other things.
