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.
