This post uses visual math to answer a simple question:
What does presidential wealth look like when you measure only what’s gained while in office?
Each cup in the video represents $10 million.
One stack shows the combined wealth growth of U.S. presidents from Calvin Coolidge forward, across roughly a century of leadership.
The other shows what one president accumulated in a single year.
Same scale.
Same units.
No post-presidency book deals.
No speaking fees.
No speculation.
Just documented estimates, historical disclosures, and a consistent visual framework designed to make scale visible.
This isn’t about party loyalty or personality.
It’s about standards, guardrails, and whether public office is treated as a public trust—or a private revenue stream.
Sources and methodology are included below for anyone who wants to dig deeper.
Look at the math.
Then decide what you think it means.
