On a Senator’s Salary.
One of his other properties was over-the-top All Marble, a crazy number of fireplaces, on the water.

apparently Biden owns 3 mansions, valued (by who??) at an average of $1.3M each, for a total of about $4M (january 2021 dollars).
I’m not sure how much money that is in august 2023 dollars, but here is a graph of US inflation (which began to rise in march 2021, and has yet to return to that value).

He owned a DUPont Mansion and several other properties on a Senator’s Salary.
Joe himself said his Total Net Worth was $150,000
His DuPont Mansion probably cost $30,000 a month for upkeep and that’s conservative. That’s just one of his Properties.
Collector Corvettes, two kids in Luxury Rehabs over and over and over.
Tennis Courts, Pools, Guest houses, Basketball courts, a garage for 20 cars. Golf carts. Country Club Memberships.
Inflation from january 2021 through july 2023 inclusive is reportedly ~16.64%. (This is probably from official statistics so it is likely imho to be an understatement of actual inflation.)
so $4M in ~march 2021 is (officially) valued at ~$4.67M today (august 2023).
(real inflation as calculated by shadowstats seems to run at about 30% above official inflation figures. maybe this could be figured in somehow— i am just posting what i have so far.)
