Study reveals outrageous wealth of world’s politicians from Putin’s £164BILLION to Trump’s £3BILLION
Our home-grown representatives look relative paupers compared to their international rivals
WHILE Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump may be neck-and-neck in the Presidential race when it comes to personal wealth there really is only one winner.
Mega-rich republican Donald has a reported £3billion tucked away in the bank while rival Hillary has 'just' £37million, according to a new report on political wealth.
Trump made his money through successful real estate investments in the Manhattan market in the 1980s before transitioning to self-marketing in the 1990s.
While Hillary (and husband Bill) cashed in on their celebrity status, book-writing, consulting and a whirlwind of lucrative speeches that took them around the world on behalf of corporations, foundations and trade groups .
All the staggering statistics are revealed in a new study by online lottery giant Lottoland.
