It never cease to amaze me how many politicians start of as financially average, but end up extremely wealthy!
I have concluded that with the exception of being an heir to a family fortune, or winning the lottery, one of the fastest paths to wealth is politics!

Their wealth is not coming from within, in the way you suggest. It is coming from their power, and not having to be subject to the laws we minions have to follow.

Nice place, not really my style and the kitchen was designed by someone that does not do much of their own cooking.
