- Democrats are forever calling the Republicans the party of
- the rich. But a new survey by the congressional newspaper Roll
- Call reports that of 28 SENATE MILLIONAIRES, 21 are Democrats.
- According to standard financial-disclosure forms, which often
- yield conservative estimates, Virginia Senator Charles Robb, a
- Democrat, leads the pack, with a net worth of at least $19
- million (thanks mostly to wife Lynda Bird Johnson's family
- holdings). Among the other wealthiest Democrats: Claiborne Pell
- of Rhode Island (net worth: $13.7 million), Herb Kohl of
- Wisconsin ($12.7 million), Jay Rockefeller of West Virginia
- ($8.7 million), Lloyd Bentsen of Texas ($5.8 million), Ted
- Kennedy of Massachusetts ($2 million) and Bob Kerrey of Nebraska
- ($1.5 million).
