Rice also came under fire after controversial details of her large investment portfolio were revealed by the Washington Free Beacon and others.
According to personal financial disclosure forms, Rice’s net worth in 2011 was somewhere between $27 million and $50 million.
Three companies in which Rice has invested – oil company Royal Dutch Shell, Norwegian aluminum manufacturer Norsk Hydro, and Australian natural resource company BHP Billiton – have been criticized for conducting business with the repressive Iranian regime in defiance of international economic sanctions.
Additional sanctions on Iran’s economy, designed to stop the its pursuit of nuclear weapons, would actually hurt Rice’s portfolio, a Free Beacon analysis found.
“That Susan Rice invested in companies doing business in Iran shows either the Obama administration’s lack of seriousness regarding Iran or Rice’s own immorality,” former Pentagon advisor Michael Rubin said after Rice’s controversial investments came to light.

Pretty much everybody in DC is wealthy, I’d venture that she is not unusual at all. My cousin’s husband is a lawyer who worked for Carter and Clinton, and was in private practice during Ford and Reagan/Bush. They have serious bucks.
