The Commercial Appeal

WEALTHIEST LAWMAKERS

- The Washington Post

Rep. Diane Black and Sen. Bob. Corker are on a list of the wealthiest members of Congress.

Two Tennessee lawmakers were included in a list of the wealthiest members of Congress compiled by The Hill newspaper, which covers the Capitol.

Using financial disclosure forms and other sources, the Hill ranked Rep. Diane Black, a Nashville Republican, the 13th wealthiest lawmaker with assets worth $25 million. Nashville real estate and investment­s in Aegis, Dell, eBay, Google, Johnson & Johnson, PepsiCo, Target and Nestle make up the bulk of the wealth listed for Black and her husband.

Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., ranked 22nd with assets of $16.7 million, The Hill said. Corker made his money in commercial real estate in Chattanoog­a and still has much of his fortune in rental real estate. He took a nearly $3 million hit last year, much of it from a UBS Bank account that lost most of its value.

Here are the remaining 28 of The Hill’s list — 22 men and 6 women, 13 Republican­s and 15 Democrats, in descending order of wealth.
