Jimmy Carter, $10 Million

Jimmy Carter was the President of the United States between 1977 and 1981. Finance.yahoo.com reported his net worth at $10 million. He wasn’t a politician since the beginning and ran a peanut farm before he was anywhere close to power. However, his popularity among the people of his native Georgia drove him to pursue it.

A graduate of the United States Naval Academy, Carter is still as humble a person as he was before his tenure. He currently resides in a tiny abode (assessed at $167K in 2018) in Georgia and enjoys his retirement mingling with his neighbors and shopping at local stores.
