What is Bernie Sanders net worth?
According to Forbes, Sanders is worth around $ 2.5 million.
According to Forbes, the Senator has an estimated $ 500,000 in cash and investments, around $ 1,300,000, and over $ 700,000 in state pensions.
How did he make his money?
Sanders made his living by licensing books, real estate investments, and government pensions.
In his role as a senator, he paid $ 174,000 a year for the past year, according to a Congressional Research Service report on Senate salaries.
Since running for president in 2016, Sanders has published several books.
His book series has grossed over $ 1.7 million.
How many properties does Bernie own?
According to the Daily Mail, the senator owns three properties.
He owns a four-bedroom home valued at $ 405,000 in Vermont and a one-bedroom apartment in Washington, valued at $ 700,000.
He also owns a lakeside cabin that was once part of Burlington College in Vermont – where his wife Jane was a former president.
The couple’s acquisition of the booth was at the center of some controversy after critics blamed Jane Sanders for initiating a program to drive millions of dollars onto the college’s campus – which brought the university to collapse.
The couple then grabbed the cabin after the school closed in 2016.
The Sanders say they bought the log cabin with inheritance money, but records discovered by VTDigger suggest that the amount Jane received from her parents was significantly less than the price of the cabin.
