Wealthiest U.S. Presidents in History Includes John F. Kennedy and George Washington

The 10 wealthiest U.S. presidents have been released based on the net worth from 24/7 Wall St.

The recent list of figures has been calculated in 2010 dollars, except of those still-living presidents, as their recent earnings are available.

Here is the list of the top 10 wealthiest U.S. presidents:

1. George Washington, $525 million

2. Thomas Jefferson, $212 million

3. Theodore Roosevelt, $125 million

4. Andrew Jackson, $119 million

5. James Madison, $101 million

6. Lyndon Johnson, $98 million

7. Herbert Hoover, $75 million

8. Franklin Roosevelt, $60 million

9. Bill Clinton, $55 million

10. John F. Kennedy, $1 billion (never inherited his father's estate)

Interestingly in the list JFK is listed as the tenth, despite his net worth being the highest. It states that although JFK "never inherited his father's fortune, the Kennedy family estate was worth nearly $1 billion dollars." JFK's actual individual net worth is not listed. Just the fact that JFK's income and property came from a trust shared with other family members.

It's an interesting list to read through, as it includes short details about the president such as George Washington, "His Virginia plantation, Mount Vernon, consisted of five separate farms on 8,000 acres of prime farmland, run by more than 300 slaves. His wife, Martha Washington, inherited significant property from her father. Washington made well more than subsequent presidents: his salary was 2% of the total U.S. budget in 1789."
