It’s the age old story. A guy runs for a political office that pays about $150,000 per year and within a couple of years is a millionaire. So what’s the problem? Happens all the time.

They don’t call the Senate the millionaires club for nuthin’.I wonder how many houses he has?

I've been wondering since I saw pictures of the "Biden Compound" and particularly his personal home on news today.

I don't have any problem with politicians being rich, but I really wonder how he wound up with an estate when his family isn't wealthy and Opensecrets lists his 2006 net worth as $-302,980 to $277,997 (which they say is 108th among senators, which is even more confusing).
