Richest Politicians in The World

 Because they're skilled and have financial resources, the majority of politicians are able to rise to the top of their political party's ranks. Have you ever wondered what top politicians earn? While there's a substantial pay and excellent benefits, the majority of most prominent leaders are from families or have other investment sources. There are a few people who aren't wealthy enough to be able to get into the political world. Here's the list of 20 of the most powerful politicians around the globe. You might be shocked to find out that Nelson Rockefeller is not on the list. Michael Ashcroft, a British politician, is the 21st spot. Ashcroft is also a successful businessman, who established an enterprise in security which has grown to become one of the biggest corporations in the field. The company also includes ADT Security up until Tyco International bought it in 1997. It was acquired by Tyco International at $6.7 billion.
