Senator Elizabeth Warren's net worth revealed as the 2020 Presidential Election heats up

[AOL] The 2020 presidential race is well underway, and while some of the early hopefuls have dropped their bids, there are still a handful of Democratic contenders looking to land on the official ballot.

One of the more prominent candidates, Senator Elizabeth Warren, is putting a lot of effort behind her 2020 bid.

Warren, who is currently a U.S. Senator in Massachusetts, is regarded as one of the more liberal candidates in the current Democratic race. The senator has built her campaign on promising middle-class Americans to fight for their equality.
and raise their taxes, but she's not talking about that
"Rich guys have been waging class warfare against hard-working people for decades ," Warren said in her speech announcing her candidacy for president. " I say it’s time to fight back!"

In February, the senator filed personal financial disclosures for her candidacy which were obtained by The Center for Public Integrity and later revealed on Twitter. According to the documents, Warren amassed a majority of her wealth from bond and mutual funds -- as well as retirement accounts and book royalties. The politician and former lawyer, along with her husband, also have two real estate properties: a $3 million Victorian in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and an $800,000 condo in Washington, D.C.

Forbes reported the presidential hopeful is worth an estimated $12 million.

#3 I love how you worked in the reference to the Longfellow Bridge (six year, $255 million reconstruction that ended last year), another fine example of the Massachusetts Motto - 'Don't Kill The Job!'

For what it's worth, on my first pass over the bridge last summer after that project, I christened the bridge my way - with a sixty foot burnout in my old Camry yelling 'Yeehaw!' at the soy boy pedestrians nearby.

#4 Look how tightly Trump has gotten the left's panties twisted up because he isn't constrained by looking for chances to profit off his office.

#6 Big money for Dems is with sweetheart deals brokered through their political connections with a) media companies , b) major tech companies that depend on favorable regulatory treatment in DC, or c) overseas influence-peddlers.

Warren seems like a) the media grifter type.
Obama is a) and b).
Gore and ValJar are b).
Clinton is primarily c).
Biden through his idiot sons is also c).

#8 the Longfellow Bridge

Didn't Longfellow pen a poem about Lie-awatha?

She who was born and raised "on the shores of Gucci-gimme..."?

#9 Hah. Chortle, even. SteveS, I endeavour to give sad distraction (for me, anyway).

Raj, that's nuts. They were working on that when I was up there a few years back (and it looked then as if they'd been at it a while). And the money... nothing surprises since I got more or less caught up on the Dig (and since then, the whole glorious city-wide saga of engineering, building, demolition... rinse and repeat). Made a minor hobby of trying to figure it all out, starting with the geography, and am gradually gaining on it. Big laugh recently (partly sheer joy, partly at self for reacting that way) at stumbling across pics of the actual filling-in [cue heavenly choir] of a previously mysterious part of the FPC. I mean, a map is one thing, but now shit's getting real. Heh. Ditto first glimpse of SS trainshed, any number of waterfront features where I didn't even know there was a waterfront... Helluva cool place despite the knuckleheads running it.

#10 Oh, and down your way... freakin' Fore River! Had a vague idea about subchasers or something... few destroyers... maybe a cruiser or two? And suddenly [again with the choir] there's Lexington in that humongous Southie drydock. "Uhhhh, like, where'd that come from?" And so forth. Anyway, got a heckuva city there... if you can keep it. Despairing cackle.

#11 Disturbing the injuns a smidge
A bowshot from Longfellow Bridge:
Beware, Kendall Square,
And hang onto your hair
When the Raj charges over the ridge!
