00:00From flying million-dollar private jets, to dying broke in Monticello, to losing your entire life savings in a Ponzi
00:08scheme, and then making it all back, this is every U.S. president's wealth explained.
00:15But first, this is the Broke Boy Club, presidents with a net worth under a million bucks in today's money.
00:21And when I say today's money, I'm referring to the year 2020, because if I adjusted for 2025 inflation, everyone
00:28would be a trillionaire.
00:29Except James Buchanan, one of the poorest presidents in American history. Born into a log cabin with a big family,
00:37he never had much more than the basics.
00:39And as congressman, senator, and secretary of state, Buchanan received government paychecks, which stunk. And back then, he couldn't inside
00:49or trade his way into millions.
00:50I'm looking at you, Pelosi. Kinda like Abe Lincoln, another log cabin kid who clawed his way up to success.
00:58And although he made a name for himself as a lawyer, it didn't exactly rain dollar bills. Until he became
01:05president, and earned a $25,000 salary, which is like $750,000 in today's dollars.
01:12We're rich! The only problem, his term was cut short by John Wilkes Booth, leaving Mary Todd Lincoln to struggle
01:20financially after his death.
01:22But if you couldn't tell, America was pretty broke back then. Because Lincoln's successor? Also poor.
01:30Andrew Johnson started at rock bottom and apprenticed as a tailor just to get by. Then climbed the political ladder
01:37as mayor, governor, U.S. senator, vice president, and eventually, president.
01:42But here's the kicker. Decades of public service didn't exactly make him rich. In fact, he left the White House
01:49with little more than he came in with. Including a whole lot of enemies in Congress.
01:54But at least Johnson didn't lose his entire life savings to a scam. Like Ulysses S. Grant, a military genius
02:02and war hero who grew up pretty poor.
02:05But after the Civil War, the public adored him, showering him with gifts and money. And by the time he
02:11marched into the White House, Grant had a solid chunk of change.
02:15Until he fell victim to a Ponzi scheme. Cause Grant entrusted his money to a Wall Street firm ran by
02:22his son in Ferdinand Ward.
02:25A swindler so slimy, he earned the nickname, the best hated man in the United States. How charming.
02:32And overnight, Grant went from wealthy war hero to having 80 bucks in his pocket. 80 dollars.
02:41But he didn't quit. With throat cancer closing in and his family's future on the line, Grant reached for the
02:47only weapon he had left.
02:49His pen. And feverishly poured his final months into writing his memoirs. And against all odds, it paid off.
02:57Cause after his death, they became a best seller. Generating 450,000 for his wife and children. Good job big
03:06guy, you made up for it.
03:07But while some presidents rode the roller coaster of riches, others never got rich at all.
03:13Like Woodrow Wilson, who spent most of his career in academia as president of Princeton University, then governor of New
03:21Jersey.
03:22Respectable jobs. Important jobs. But financially, those roles came with pretty modest paychecks.
03:29And hey, at least he saved his pennies. Unlike this next president who couldn't stop flexing.
03:35Because Chester A. Arthur went full gilded age baller. Buying a palatial New York City townhouse, filling it with extravagant
03:43decor and strutting around in the latest high fashion.
03:47But here's the twist. He wasn't born into money. Arthur was just a lawyer and the son of a preacher.
03:54Which meant every dollar that hit his account usually walked right back out the door.
03:59Cause Arthur lived by a simple philosophy. You can't take it with you. So why not spend it in style?
04:06And somebody should have mentioned that to James Garfield, whose life was tragically cut short.
04:11Cause Garfield was a boy genius. Born into poverty and driven by education, he ascended into politics and served nearly
04:1920 years in Congress before becoming president.
04:22And then suddenly, just months into his term, he was assassinated at 49 years old, never having time to build
04:31wealth.
04:31But what he did leave behind was something bigger. A legacy of putting education and public service above money.
04:38Come on, you gotta respect that.
04:41Kind of like Calvin Coolidge, who came from a frugal New England background and carried thriftiness everywhere he went.
04:48He practiced law, climbed the political ladder, eventually made it to the White House.
04:53But here's the thing. Silent Cow never dabbled in business deals or real estate.
04:58So his net worth stayed, well, modest. Just like the man himself.
05:03Alright, alright. Enough with the brokies. Let's raise the stakes.
05:07Cause these presidents weren't just living on salaries.
05:10They stacked assets, built estates, and left behind fortunes worth an estimated 1 to 10 million in today's dollars.
05:18Like William McKinley, who didn't inherit a dime.
05:22In fact, during the Panic of 1893, he went completely bankrupt after co-signing a couple of bad loans while
05:28governor of Ohio.
05:30Rookie mistake.
05:31But luckily, his supporters rallied and helped him repay his debts.
05:36And with his Canton, Ohio home adding some value, McKinley ended up doing alright in the end.
05:42But hey, if you can't make money, might as well marry into it, right?
05:46Cause that's exactly what Warren G. Harding did.
05:48His wife, Florence, was the daughter of a wealthy businessman.
05:52And she was sharp.
05:54Cause she rolled up her sleeves and turned Harding's newspaper, The Marion Star, into a real money maker.
06:00And that paper ended up being Harding's biggest source of wealth.
06:04Go give your wife a kiss and tell her you love her.
06:07And you know that saying, your net worth is your net worth?
06:10Well, Franklin Pierce lived it.
06:12Cause he built a successful law practice, was the son of the governor of New Hampshire,
06:17and Mary Jane Appleton, whose father just happened to be the president of Bowdoin College.
06:21With that kind of circle, Pierce stayed modestly wealthy most of his life.
06:26Same deal with Rutherford B. Hayes, a successful lawyer in Ohio, who married into a well-to-do family.
06:32And after his presidency, Hayes retired to Spiegel Grove, a 25-acre estate with a 10,000-square-foot mansion.
06:40Honestly, I could get used to this.
06:43Meanwhile, William Howard Taft stacked his wealth the old-fashioned way, through a lifetime of legal and public service.
06:49The guy was a lawyer, judge, secretary of war, president, Yale professor, and chief justice of the United States.
06:58Talk about a resume!
07:00But even with all those prestigious titles, Taft never really built a massive fortune.
07:05He lived comfortably, sure, but mostly off a steady career and a solid home base in Cincinnati.
07:11Kinda like Millard Fillmore, who worked as a lawyer and even helped bound the school that became SUNY Buffalo.
07:18But here's the catch. None of that made him rich.
07:21After leaving the White House, Fillmore mostly lived off his investments and the fortune of his second wife.
07:28Smart man, smarter marriage.
07:30But let's take things up a notch with William Henry Harrison, who came from a prominent family and married into
07:36even more wealth.
07:38Because his father-in-law was one of the largest landowners in the Northwest and sold Harrison 160 acres in
07:46Ohio.
07:46On top of that, Harrison expanded his holdings with land bounty grants, public land the government handed out to veterans
07:53as a thank you for their service.
07:55So yeah, Harrison was land rich, but cash poor.
08:00Cause when he died just one month into office, he left his family with nothing.
08:05Congress had to step in and grant his widow a special pension just so she could get by.
08:10So much for all this land!
08:12But at least his grandson, Benjamin Harrison, held onto a slice of the family land.
08:18But Benjamin didn't just coast on inheritance.
08:21He built his own fortune as a top-tier lawyer.
08:24How good was he?
08:25He once represented Venezuela in an international case against Britain, standing up for the little guy on a global stage.
08:33And when he wasn't busy winning court cases, Harrison was kicking it at his Victorian mansion in Indianapolis.
08:40Not bad, Benny boy.
08:42Not bad at all.
08:43On the other hand, Harry Truman was a little sketchy when it came to money.
08:47He grew up a farmer, stumbled through business, and nearly went bankrupt in the 1920s.
08:52So when he got into politics, Truman leaned hard into the image of the struggling everyman.
08:59And after his presidency, he even claimed to be strapped for cash, turning down lucrative corporate gigs just to look
09:06humble.
09:07Congress felt so bad, they created the presidential pension and doubled his salary while he was still in office.
09:13But here's the twist.
09:15Truman was a lot comfier than he let on.
09:18Cuz a 2021 investigation revealed that he left office with a modern equivalent of around $6 million, including a secret
09:26$2 million account he quietly pocketed.
09:29Hey, give me that!
09:31But this next guy didn't have to hide his way to wealth, because Zachary Taylor, our 12th president, was born
09:37into a prominent plantation family.
09:39And throughout his long military career, added to it by acquiring plantations in Kentucky, Mississippi, and Louisiana, where over a
09:48hundred slaves were forced to work.
09:50So, Taylor's $7 million net worth came from the Old South, and certainly not a presidential paycheck.
09:58Cuz he barely had time to collect one, dying just 16 months into office.
10:02But speaking of short-term presidents, Gerald Ford had a pretty basic career.
10:07A long-time congressman who basically stumbled into the Oval Office after Watergate.
10:13However, Ford's real payday came after leaving the White House.
10:17Cuz in just his first year out, Ford banked over a million dollars in speaking fees and cushy board gigs.
10:23And he didn't stop there.
10:25He kept stacking checks on the boards of companies like American Express.
10:29Hey, is that even legal?
10:31At least Jimmy Carter made his post-presidency riches in a more respectable manner.
10:36Because after being a peanut farmer, turned congressman, turned president, Carter wasn't dead after he left office.
10:43So he reinvented himself, writing dozens of books, giving speeches, and in 2002, even won the Nobel Peace Prize, which
10:52came with a cool $1 million cash prize.
10:55So yeah, it's safe to say Carter enjoyed his retirement years.
10:59Kinda like Dwight D. Eisenhower, who spent the bulk of his career in the army.
11:05But even as a five-star general, the paychecks weren't exactly life changing.
11:10Cuz Ike's real wealth came from purchasing a 250-acre farm in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, which skyrocketed in value over time.
11:19Add in some careful saving, a few best-selling books, and suddenly Eisenhower had himself a pretty comfy nest egg.
11:26A $10 million nest egg.
11:29Not bad for a farm boy turned supreme commander.
11:32But Joe Biden's road to $10 million might have been the most parabolic of them all.
11:37Because after spending 36 years as a senator, Biden consistently ranked among the poorest members of the Senate.
11:44And by 2009, his net worth was so low, he was juggling debt.
11:49But everything changed after he became vice president.
11:53In 2017 alone, Joe and Jill pulled in $11 million from book deals and speeches.
11:59And fast forward to 2023, and Forbes pegged his net worth at around $10 million.
12:05Talk about rags to riches.
12:07Or maybe rags to book tour.
12:10But millionaire status?
12:12That was just the warm-up.
12:13Cuz this next-tier presidents weren't just comfortable, they were loaded.
12:18We're talking $10 to $50 million of net worth.
12:22Like James Polk, who came from a well-off family and married into a richer one.
12:27And sure, he served as Speaker of the House and Governor of Tennessee.
12:31But his real fortune didn't come from politics alone.
12:35It came from land.
12:37Nearly 900 acres of prime Mississippi cotton country.
12:41Worked by dozens of slaves.
12:44A dark truth behind his spot in the Mega Million Club.
12:48On the other hand, Ronald Reagan didn't start out rich.
12:51He was the son of a shoe salesman turned Hollywood actor turned Governor of California.
12:56And while Governor, purchased a 688-acre ranch near Santa Barbara.
13:03Woo-hoo!
13:04But his big boy payday came after the White House.
13:07When Reagan cashed in on a blockbuster $2 million speaking tour in Japan.
13:13And scored a hefty advance for his autobiography.
13:16Perks of being a former president.
13:18And a former movie star.
13:20Meanwhile, Richard Nixon had a rockier transition after resigning from the Oval Office in disgrace.
13:28But little did he know, that might have been the best financial move he ever made.
13:32Because Nixon found a way to monetize his notoriety.
13:36Striking a lucrative TV deal with British journalist David Frost.
13:40Agreeing to a series of televised interviews.
13:43And oh boy did Nixon rake it in.
13:46Cause he pulled in 600 grand from that deal.
13:49About $2.5 million in today's money.
13:52Stack that on top of book royalties.
13:54And Nixon went from disgrace to sitting on tens of millions of dollars by the time he died.
14:00But you know who actually had Nixon beat?
14:03Our second president, John Adams.
14:05And he had some help from his wife Abigail.
14:08Who came from the wealthy Quincy family.
14:11One of the most prominent clans in early America.
14:14And together, they lived at their big ol' estate, Peacefield.
14:18This place is freaking huge.
14:20And through his thriving law practice and presidential salary.
14:23Adams maintained his wealth over time.
14:26Enough to pass it on to his son, John Quincy Adams.
14:30Who inherited Peacefield and married Louisa.
14:33The daughter of a wealthy American merchant.
14:35So even though John Quincy Adams spent most of his life in politics.
14:40Money was never really a problem.
14:42Must be nice.
14:43Born into power.
14:45And a trust fund.
14:47But speaking of being born into American dynasties.
14:50Some would say George H.W. Bush had a financial head start.
14:54His father was both a U.S. Senator and investment banker.
14:58And after World War II, George made his own fortune in the Texas oil industry.
15:03Co-founding an offshore drilling company that turned him into a multi-millionaire.
15:08So yeah, by the time Bush reached the Oval Office, his presidential salary was basically pocket change.
15:15But while some presidents inherit their riches, others need to bring home the bacon themselves.
15:20Like Grover Cleveland, who was born poor to the son of a minister.
15:25But worked his way up as a lawyer and invested his way to the big leagues.
15:30Because after his second presidency, Cleveland invested heavily in the stock market.
15:34And watched his net worth balloon.
15:37Which allowed him to retire at his beautiful Westland mansion in Princeton, New Jersey.
15:43Smart man.
15:44Smart money.
15:45Kinda like Martin Van Buren.
15:47Who built up a solid fortune the old-fashioned way.
15:50By pulling in steady income as a lawyer.
15:52Then climbing the ranks as Secretary of State.
15:55Vice President.
15:56And finally President.
15:57But he didn't just save his money.
15:59He invested wisely.
16:01Cuz his biggest asset was Lindenwald.
16:04A 225 acre estate in New York.
16:07Where he comfortably retired.
16:09But not every president gets a comfy retirement.
16:13Like James Monroe.
16:14Who married into a wealthy family.
16:16Ran a sprawling Virginia plantation.
16:19And built a solid career as a lawyer.
16:21For a time it looked like he was set for life.
16:24Until it all came crashing down.
16:27Cuz Monroe neglected his finances during his decades in politics.
16:32And by the time he left the White House.
16:34He was drowning in debt.
16:36Forced to sell off his plantation just to stay afloat.
16:39So despite having a 30 million dollar net worth.
16:43Monroe retired nearly broke.
16:46Here's a coin with your face on it sir.
16:47On the contrary George W. Bush benefited from the Bush family name.
16:53And daddy's oil money.
16:55But even with that head start.
16:57He struggled to succeed in business.
16:59Until 1989 when he struck gold by investing in the Texas Rangers baseball team.
17:05Turning his $600,000 investment into a $15 million payday.
17:10And the wins didn't stop there.
17:12Cuz Bush earned post-presidential book deals and speaking fees.
17:16That put his net worth around the $40 million mark.
17:19But enough of these lightweights.
17:21It's time to level up to the $50 to $100 million club.
17:25With John Tyler.
17:27Another president who hit the jackpot through inheritance and marriage.
17:31Cuz he inherited a Virginia tobacco plantation with enslaved workers.
17:36And while in office married his second wife.
17:38An heiress with sprawling Long Island properties.
17:41Together that wealth allowed Tyler to relax and retire at his giga mansion.
17:47Sherwood Forest Plantation.
17:49Ah.
17:50This is nice.
17:51And if you couldn't tell.
17:53Marrying into money was the ultimate status symbol back then.
17:56But me?
17:57I married Miss Flappy for love.
17:59Which is why I've got a badge and sunglasses instead of my face on the dollar bill.
18:04Unlike Franklin Roosevelt.
18:06Whose face actually made it on the dime.
18:09Because the Roosevelt clan knew how to play the long game.
18:13For generations they strategically intermarried with other powerful New York dynasties.
18:19Like the Delanos.
18:20So by the time Franklin came along.
18:23He wasn't just born into privilege.
18:25He inherited a double fortune.
18:27From both sides of the family.
18:29With his crown jewel being the Springwood Estate in Hyde Park.
18:33Where FDR was born.
18:35Lived most of his life.
18:36And was eventually buried.
18:38But if there's one thing that can beat a double dynasty.
18:41It's Netflix.
18:43Because Barack Obama's net worth.
18:45Shot into the 70 to 100 million dollar range.
18:48After his presidency.
18:50Through book deals.
18:51Speaking fees.
18:52And oh yeah.
18:53A 50 million dollar Netflix production deal.
18:57Turns out being popular pays well.
18:59But it wasn't just Barack cashing it.
19:02Cause his wife Michelle.
19:03Scored a 65 million dollar cash advance.
19:06For her best selling memoir.
19:08Um.
19:09If we're grabbing dinner.
19:10You two are picking up the bill.
19:12But another president who struck gold after leaving office.
19:15Was Bill Clinton.
19:16Because Clinton had no family fortune.
19:19And drew a modest salary as governor of Arkansas.
19:22In fact.
19:23After leaving the White House in 2001.
19:25The Clintons were buried in legal debt from the Whitewater investigation.
19:29Dude was this close to going broke.
19:32Until Bill and Hillary teamed up.
19:35And got serious about their moolah.
19:37Landing two book deals worth 15 million and 14 million respectively.
19:42And turning the speaking circuit into an ATM.
19:45Raking in over a hundred million bucks in fees.
19:48But unlike most presidents in US history.
19:52Herbert Hoover was a self-made millionaire.
19:54Before he stepped foot in the Oval Office.
19:57Orphaned at a young age.
19:59He clawed his way up by studying engineering at Stanford.
20:02And in his twenties and thirties.
20:04Was running mining operations around the globe.
20:07Even owning silver mines in places like Burma.
20:10Sir.
20:11This one's a beauty.
20:12So by the time he became president.
20:14Hoover had a 100 million dollar net worth in today's dollars.
20:19Making him one of the richest men in America at the time.
20:23But if you think a hundred million is crazy.
20:25We're moving up to the 100 million plus tier.
20:28With presidents so rich.
20:30It kind of makes you wonder where it all came from.
20:33Like Lyndon B. Johnson.
20:34Who grew up dirt poor in rural Texas.
20:37And ended up filthy rich through some.
20:39Let's just say.
20:40Questionable business moves.
20:42Cuz in 1943.
20:44Lady Bird Johnson bought a failing Austin radio station.
20:48And soon after.
20:49Secured lucrative licenses from the FCC.
20:53The agency her husband.
20:55Conveniently oversaw as congressman.
20:57Coincidence?
20:59I think not.
21:00Cuz those licenses turned KTBC.
21:03Into a Texas powerhouse.
21:05That raked in millions.
21:07And from there.
21:08The Johnsons built a full blown media empire.
21:11Along with a 1500 acre cattle ranch.
21:14But speaking of acres.
21:16As far as the eye can see.
21:17James Madison.
21:18Was loaded.
21:20Born into a plantation family.
21:22He inherited part of the massive Montpellier estate.
21:26Thousands of acres.
21:27Dozens of slaves.
21:29And enough status.
21:30To feel like a king.
21:31At its peak.
21:33Madison's fortune.
21:34Was the modern equivalent.
21:35Of 140 million dollars.
21:38But it didn't last forever.
21:40Cuz plantation profits.
21:42Started shrinking.
21:43And Madison's stepson.
21:45John Payne Todd.
21:46Turned out to be.
21:47An alcoholic gambling addict.
21:49Who buried himself in debt.
21:51It got so bad.
21:52Madison shelled out.
21:53The modern equivalent.
21:54Of a million dollars.
21:56Just to bail him out of trouble.
21:57So.
21:58By the time.
21:59James Madison died.
22:00He was land rich.
22:02But cash poor.
22:03Until.
22:04Things cut even worse.
22:06Cuz Todd.
22:07Couldn't quit.
22:07His gambling habit.
22:09Causing.
22:09Dolly Madison.
22:10James's wife.
22:11To sell off.
22:12Everything.
22:13Montpellier.
22:14Its furniture.
22:16And even.
22:17Its slaves.
22:18And sadly.
22:19Dolly was pushed.
22:20To absolute poverty.
22:21In her final years.
22:22Of course.
22:23Just goes to show.
22:24It only takes one reckless kid to burn down an American dynasty.
22:29Way to go Todd.
22:30But at least this next president didn't have a problem child.
22:34Cuz Andrew Jackson's rise to wealth.
22:37Was insane.
22:38Born poor on the frontier.
22:40Jackson made his riches through a law practice.
22:42Savvy land deals.
22:44And a well-timed marriage to his wife Rachel.
22:46And by 1804.
22:49He was rich enough to buy the Hermitage.
22:51A massive plantation.
22:52He grew into a thousand acres.
22:55With 150 slaves working the cotton fields.
22:58So.
22:59By the time he died.
23:00Andrew Jackson's net worth.
23:02Sat around 130 million bucks.
23:05From frontier orphan.
23:06To one of the wealthiest men to ever sit in the White House.
23:10What a legend.
23:11Kinda like Theodore Roosevelt.
23:13Except Teddy.
23:14Started out as a trust fund kid.
23:16Born into the affluent New York Roosevelt family.
23:20He inherited millions in today's money.
23:22And at just 22 years old.
23:24Purchased Sagamore Hill.
23:26A 235 acre estate.
23:28Perched on prime Long Island real estate.
23:31Not a bad starter home.
23:33However.
23:34Teddy's fortune wasn't bulletproof.
23:36Cuz he lost a huge chunk of his inheritance.
23:39On a failed cattle ranch in the Dakotas.
23:41When one brutal winter wiped out his herd.
23:44So he buckled down and made money the old fashioned way.
23:48With his talents.
23:49Cranking out more than 35 books on history.
23:52Politics.
23:53And hunting.
23:54Roosevelt became a best selling author.
23:57Add that to a presidential salary worth about 1.5 million in today's money.
24:02And Teddy was back on top.
24:03But by the end of his life.
24:05His greatest asset was still Sagamore Hill.
24:08His slogan should have been.
24:10Speak softly.
24:11Carry a big stick.
24:13And an even bigger estate.
24:15But if you thought Roosevelt was rich.
24:17This next guy nearly doubled him.
24:19Because Thomas Jefferson inherited 3,000 acres of land from his father.
24:25And expanded it to a 5,000 acre plantation.
24:28Where more than 600 slaves grew tobacco over his lifetime.
24:33And this is where he built his iconic Monticello estate.
24:36The one you see on the nickel.
24:38At his peak.
24:39Jefferson's fortune was worth the modern equivalent of 250 million.
24:43Life couldn't get much sweeter.
24:46Until it all came crashing down.
24:48Because Jefferson had expensive taste.
24:52Fine wines.
24:53European furniture.
24:54And thousands of rare books.
24:56He piled up so much debt that by the time he died.
24:59His family had to sell Monticello.
25:02His slaves.
25:03And most of his possessions.
25:05So despite being one of the wealthiest Americans of his era.
25:09Jefferson blew it all in the end.
25:11Unlike George Washington.
25:13Who absolutely secured the bag.
25:16Because George inherited Mount Vernon.
25:19And gradually expanded it into a 8,000 acre estate.
25:22With more than 300 slaves.
25:24And a whiskey distillery.
25:26On top of that.
25:27He gained even more land through his wealthy wife Martha.
25:30And went on a buying spree.
25:32Snapping up 52,000 acres across Virginia.
25:36Pennsylvania.
25:37Maryland.
25:38And Kentucky.
25:39This man was on a generational run.
25:41But despite being land rich.
25:44He was often cash poor.
25:45And had to rely on the presidential salary of 25 grand a year.
25:50Which was 2% of the entire US budget.
25:53And if you think that's chump change.
25:5525,000 back then.
25:57Equals 700 grand in today's money.
25:59So yeah.
26:01Add it all up.
26:02And George Washington's net worth peaked around 590 million dollars.
26:08This dude wasn't just the father of the country.
26:10He was the original mega millionaire.
26:13But to these next presidents.
26:15He was basically poor.
26:16Cause we're moving on up to the Billy Club.
26:19The richest of the rich.
26:20Cause John F. Kennedy didn't just become president.
26:23He inherited an empire.
26:26And most of it came from his father.
26:28Who made millions through banking.
26:30Stock trading.
26:32Real estate.
26:32And Hollywood.
26:34And when you add in his wife Jackie.
26:36Whose stepfather inherited a slice of the standard oil fortune.
26:40Their combined wealth today.
26:42Tops a billion dollars.
26:43Which is why the Kennedys spent summers cruising Martha's vineyard on a luxury yacht.
26:48Instead of clipping coupons.
26:50And as for JFK's presidential salary.
26:53He didn't even need it.
26:55He donated the whole thing to charity.
26:57Just like this next guy.
26:59The richest president in United States history.
27:02Donald Trump.
27:04Who was born into a wealthy real estate family.
27:07And expanded the empire into office buildings.
27:10Luxury hotels.
27:11And golf courses.
27:12And of course.
27:13There was this famous reality TV show.
27:16But Trump's crown jewel might be Mar-a-Lago.
27:19A 126 room mansion.
27:22Valued somewhere between 300 to 600 million dollars.
27:27It's where he meets world leaders.
27:29Golfs.
27:29And takes off on his 100 million dollar private jet.
27:33Now this.
27:34Is the life sir.
27:36Cause Trump isn't just rich.
27:38His net worth is in the multi-billions.
27:41In fact.
27:42Trump's probably spent more time around Benjamin Franklin.
27:45Than the actual founding fathers.
27:46But if you think stacking bread is impressive.
27:50Then you've clearly never eaten spoon bread.
27:53Because this.
27:54Is every US president's favorite food.
27:56From slurping squirrel soup.
27:59To eating marshmallow covered sweet potatoes.
28:02To getting three and a half tons of jelly beans.
28:04Delivered to the White House.
28:06Some presidents stuff the most absurd things into their bodies.
28:10So click this video right here.
28:12And find out what fueled our most important leaders.
28:15Cause we're done with the fat stacks.
28:17And I'm craving a tasty snack.
28:19And if you'd like.
28:19Want to pick that up just fast and pull this back.
28:19And put in the hotadura on the back.
28:19That's still a Restaur Galilei saying he loves everything.
