Betsy DeVos, $2 Billion
In 2016 former President Donald Trump announced that he wanted Betsy DeVos as the Secretary of Education in his administration. This was the same year in which Forbes reported her family as the 88th richest in the United States, while in 2021, the same source released an article that declared her net worth at $2 billion.
DeVos is a notable philanthropist and activist. One of her significant contributions to society was forming the Windquest Group, which invests in clean energy. Along with her husband, she’s also a director at Neurocore, a company with various centers that offer biofeedback therapy for a range of disorders.
