I disagree. He worked his job of Congressional corruption as his real job. Thus, he is rich. He worked very hard at corruption.
Pres. Joe Biden paid 185k for the DuPont mansion in 1974. He was already almost 2 years as Senator and was 32 years old.
He supposedly spent big bucks to rehab it over time. Took out multiple mortgages against it early and sold it in 1996 for 1.2 million.
His 1974 Senator salary was 42,500 a year.
He did not come from money.
He was lawyer and there is no real history on that.
He also sat on a city council from 71-73.
I wonder where his money came from, back in the 70s ?
