WASHINGTON, Sept. 13 (UPI) -- The five richest members of Congress in 2012 are the same as last year, with Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Texas, at the top, Roll Call said.
Roll Call's annual survey, released Thursday, indicated McCaul, whose wealth comes in part from his father-in-law, who founded Clear Channel Communications, topped the list with a minimum net worth of about $306 million. The next four were Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., $199 million; Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., $141 million; Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., $86 million, and Sen. John D. Rockefeller IV, D-W.Va., $83 million.
