Hawaii Reps Not Richest In Congress

By /
Hawaii’s congressional representatives may have millions of dollars, but that’s not nearly enough to be among the wealthiest on Capitol Hill. 

Texas Republican Rep. Michael McCaul topped Roll Call’s list of the 50 richest members of Congress with an estimated worth of at least $294 million. Rounding out the list at No. 50: Connecticut Democratic Rep. Rosa DeLauro, with at least $6 million.

The 50 richest come from 27 states, with Texas and California — both big states with many members of Congress to begin with — boasting the highest number of representatives to make the list.

Thirty-one of the richest members of Congress are Republicans, and 19 of them are Democrats. Eleven of the 50 are women.
