When the lifelong public servant left office in 2001 after serving as Congressman, Senator, and Vice President, Al Gore was worth about $1.7 million. In the years since he lost the 2000 presidential election to George W. Bush, he has amassed a fortune that Bloomberg called "Romney-rich."
Gore, 65, had an impressive January, when he sold his stake in the Current TV network, which he co-founded, to news outlet Al Jazeera. His 20 percent share was worth $100 million, and after debt Gore pocketed $70 million.
