I’m still trying to figure out how Cruz & Heidi INCREASED their wealth by a million $$ after taking out loans and her quitting her job....???

May 22, 2013 - Freshman Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), another potential presidential candidate in 2016, reported a net worth of $1.5 million for 2012 http://thehill.com/business-a-lobbying/301323-rubios-net-worth-stays-in-the-red
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.), whose financial disclosure forms were also released Monday, listed assets between $2.4 and $4.7 million (Aug. 2015)

Some of the increase was ‘book royalties’....he sold his books to his campaign.

Being in politics can be very profitable.

Now that IS interesting! I hope some asks before it becomes irrelevant.

Adding a million or two to net worth while serving in the Senate is a trick I thought only Hillary, Harry Reid, etc. had mastered. Or maybe the Cruzes got a hot tip on some cattle futures?

I wonder if the campaign then gave the books away. Signed of course. Cruz is a typical politician.
