"Although it is difficult to compare wealth across historical periods, these ten presidents were considered rich by the standards of their day. Click on any name to launch the slide show.
Comparing the wealth of presidents between generations is not something that can be done with precision. Most presidential wealth is family money, and it's often hard to distinguish between the two. Also, many pre-Civil War presidents were land (and slave) rich, but cash poor. For these reasons net worth figures are not assigned to the presidents. Our listing is based on discussions with historians, contemporaneous press reports, and presidential biographies."
