America's Poorest Presidents (PHOTOS)


i read a similar article to that of the WSJ a week or so ago. . .it was in the Atlantic. . .it stated that Washington's wealth, adjusted to present standards, would hover around 525 million dollars.



apparently the Kennedys never received an inheritance--JFK didn't--but the Kennedy kids all drew from a trust fund. The Kennedy estate was itself valued at around a billion dollars.



here's the link to the article:

looks like The Atlantic beat the Wall Street Journal to this story by a week.
