The wealthiest members of Trump’s Cabinet include Education pick Betsy DeVos, who is worth $5.1 billion, and Commerce pick Wilbur Ross, who is worth $2.9 billion.

Trump himself would be the wealthiest president in U.S. history, and his Cabinet appears set to be at least among the wealthiest. 

It is wealthier than the past two administrations.

The New York Daily News compared President Obama’s richest Cabinet members’ wealth compared with Trump’s picks, and all of them were still less wealthy than Trump’s choices for the same positions.

President George W. Bush’s entire first administration was worth $250 million — which is one-tenth of the wealth Ross possesses on his own, The Washington Post reported.
