How Much is Jeb Bush Worth?
Like many other celebrities, Jeb Bush is not the fan of Donald Trump and calls him “a chaos president”. But we won’t speak about the policy of the 45th White House resident, because our today’s hero is Jeb. Although he lost his bid at the Presidential elections, 2016 and didn’t become the third member of Bush family to occupy the post of President, still his life and career serves as the model for many people worldwide.
Jeb Bush net worth is $40 million. This solid amount would be even bigger, if Jeb didn’t spend the big part of it for charity. He is the founder of “The Foundation for Florida’s Future”, which supports schools and hospitals.
Bush’s wealth comes from his activity of a businessman and politician. As a businessman, Jeb used to work in various areas, including real estate, trade and banks.
In early 1980s Jeb tried his hand in politics. At first he supports career of his father, George H W Bush, who served as the Director of Central Intelligence and later moved his path to politics. Around that time Jeb joined Republican Party. He became the Chairman of this party in Miami-Dade County, Florida. Bush got a chance to show his skills of a businessman and politician – and he used that chance from top to bottom. Soon the Republicans from Miami-Dade became the richest and the most active in the country. And Jeb got his ticket on top. He supported Bob Martinez in his intention to become The Governor of Florida, and mostly due to Jeb Bush’s efforts Martinez occupied that post. He appointed the young politician as the Secretary of Commerce in Florida. Thus Jeb Bush was gradually accumulating his wealth and power.
In 1994 he made the first attempt to become Florida’s Governor. Then he lost, but 4 years later he made another attempt, which turned to be more successful.
In 2002 The Governor Jeb Bush was elected for the 2nd term. Thus he tried to make the world better and earned a solid salary at the same time.
Currently Jeb Bush earns his living as a businessman. He is the member of Directors’ Board of the investment company Rayonier and of the medicine company Tenet Healthcare. In addition, he remains an active philanthropist.
