Obama’s millionaire officials return to the White House. Several former employees of Barack Obama’s presidency, who are now millionaires, are returning to the House.
Many Biden government officials have added millions of dollars to their fortunes since their last visit to the White House, according to an analysis of financial information released by IBC News. The fortunes of Ron Klein, chairman of the White House, Susan Rice, chairwoman of the Home Policy Council, Brian Dies, chairman of the National Economic Council, and Jeff Zeitz, coordinator of the Coronavirus, have multiplied in the last few years. According to Ms. Rice, her assets in 2021 have increased three to four times more than when she entered the White House during the presidency of Obama in 2009. According to his financial report released on Saturday, his assets are worth between $ 36 million and $ 149 million.
It seems that with the end of the presence of governments in the White House, given the influence and background of officials, their presence in various companies or starting a business is common.
According to ABC News’ analysis of the most recent disclosure reports, many of Biden’s top White House officials, including Chief of Staff Ron Klain, Domestic Policy Council Director Susan Rice, National Economic Council Director Brian Deese, and coronavirus response coordinator Jeff Zients, have substantially multiplied their wealth over the past few years.
Rice, who is among the wealthiest members of the Biden White House team, dramatically increased her wealth since her previous White House job during the Obama administration, reporting between $36 million and $149 million in various assets in her new disclosure filing released Saturday morning.
That’s nearly three to four times the amount she reported back in 2009, when she joined the Obama administration as the ambassador to the United Nations. Back then she reported total wealth between $13.6 million and $40.4 million, and the figure didn’t increase dramatically when she served as President Barack Obama’s national security advisor during his second term.
In her most recent filing, Rice reported holding shares worth between $250,000 and $5 million in major corporations including Johnson & Johnson, Apple and Microsoft. She also had a significant amount of stock options in Netflix, where she served as a board member, and reported earning more than $300,000 from exercising Netflix stock options in the past year. In addition, she reported shares in several oil and gas industry companies, including $1 million to $5 million of holdings in the Canadian multinational natural gas distribution company Enbridge Inc.
