The Hill listed the top 50 federal legislators who are the rich members of congress.

27 are Democrats and 23 are Republicans. The richest is John Kerry at about $188 million.
Shelly Berkley of Nevada is 45th with a wealth of $6.3 million.
It doesn't surprise me that there more rich Democrats than Republicans after all, the Dem's hold a huge advantage in the number of members of the House and Senate. When the GOP overtakes the Dem's, I am sure that the numbers will be reversed.
Surprisingly, Herb Kohl, of Wisconsin, is not on the list, even though he owns the Milwaukee Bucks and has significant wealth. However, by the way the Hill calculates wealth here, it shows that Kohl is in debt by $2 million dollars, so these stats can be taken in more than 1 way.
And with all this wealth, no wonder the members of Congress don't understand what the majority of Americans feel and see how terrible the economy is. Most of the members of Congress with wealth have no clue what it is to suffer in today's economy.
My guess is that John Kerry never knew the meaning of the word suffer. Same with Jay Rockerfeller.
