I don't think Bush has that much money. He's wealthy, no doubt, but he's not a billionaire or anything lol
The richest politician is probably John Kerry. His wife is the Heinz lady. Billions!

Actually that net worth is outdated but he is still, by far, the richest recent politician.
In Congress lately: McCain would rank 13th, John Kerry is indeed #1 and, according to the wikipedia list, that is not even counting all his wife's assests. The Clintons, as a family, would have been 29th but only after Hilary's refinancing for the Presidential run.
Democrats and Republicans are even, 6-6, in the top 12 in Congress, though Democrats do hold 3 of the top 4.
Counting all nationwide politicians again, Arnold, in California, is 2nd or 3rd, depending on how you calculate the wealth.
