The only other billionaire I can remember seeking public office in the U.S. was Michael Bloomberg. He was mayor of NYC for three terms, but his presidential campaign was even worse than Jeb's.

Billionaires generally don’t run for public office. Instead, they bribe other misfits to do their dirty work. This is probably why there is so much resentment against Trump in Washington. He played both side of the political game over the course of his life, and that’s just a bridge too far for the corrupt misfits on the “bought” side of the equation.
