List of Presidents of the United States by net worth

The peak wealth of Presidents of the United States has varied considerably. Debt and depreciation often meant that Presidents often had a negative net worth at the time of their deaths.

Most U.S. presidents before 1845 were extremely wealthy, including Andrew Jackson, who was born into poverty, and George Washington. Many of these early presidents were landowners, and some of them owned plantations, including their own slaves.

Presidents since 1929 (when Herbert Hoover took office) have generally been wealthier than before; all except Harry Truman were millionaires. These presidents have often received income from autobiographies and other writing; other than John F. Kennedy, all presidents beginning with Calvin Coolidge have written autobiographies. In addition, many presidents received considerable income from public speaking after retirement, such as Bill Clinton.

The richest president in U.S. history is current President Donald Trump, who is the first billionaire president. The exact extent of Trump's net worth, however, is unknown, due to the Trump Organization being privately-held. Trump is also wealthier than all former U.S presidents combined

The figures in the table below are all from 24/7 Wall St.'s 2016 valuation of each president's peak net worth, which can be after they left office. To allow direct comparison, all of the figures have been adjusted for inflation to 2016 dollars.
