According to the Center for Responsive Politics (CRP), with an estimated net worth of 26.6 million U.S. dollars, Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Mary Schapiro is the richest top official in the Obama administration, while President Obama himself ranked 6th in the list with 3.7 million U.S. dollars.

In the Obama administration, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton came in second at 21.5 million U.S. dollars and Attorney General Eric Holder was third with 11.5 million U.S. dollars.

Members of Congress seem richer. 44% of Congress members are millionaires. Republican Representative Darrell Issa of California tops the list with an estimated wealth of 251 million U.S. dollars.

Vice President Joe Biden with 27,000 U.S. dollars came near the end of the list. However, he appeared to be better off than Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus, who owes 42,000 U.S. dollars more than he owns.
