Some Political Leaders Are Living Large While Pretending to Understand the Struggle

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (Born in 1989) – $200K

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez went from serving drinks to serving in Congress! The New York representative made history in 2018 as the youngest woman ever elected to the U.S. House of Representatives. With a net worth of around $200K, she isn’t rolling in millions like some of her colleagues, but she’s focused on making a difference.

Her congressional salary of $174K is her primary source of income, and unlike many politicians, she’s not cashing in on corporate gigs or massive investments. She and her fiancé, Riley Roberts, keep things simple, living in the Bronx. While others in Congress are flipping stocks, she’s fighting for climate action and economic justice.
