Lindsey Graham‘s net worth is estimated to be between $1 million and $2 million.
Most of his wealth comes from his salary as a congressman, which starts at $174,000 per year, and from investments, according to the U.S. Senate website.
Graham, who is unmarried and has no children, has a straightforward financial disclosure for the year 2017.
He holds everything in his name and has no debts except for mortgages on properties in South Carolina and Washington, D.C.
His assets include investments in mutual funds, corporate bond funds, and the iShares Russell 2000 ETF.
He also has four bank accounts, including checking and savings accounts with the United States Senate Federal Credit Union and First Citizens, with balances as high as $81,001.
Additionally, he has a TD Ameritrade money market account with as much as $100,000.
Regarding property, Graham is not required to disclose properties that he owns but is not renting out.
Therefore, it’s unclear how much his residences in Washington, D.C., and Seneca, South Carolina, are worth.
He owes up to $250,000 on the D.C. residence and up to $15,000 on the Seneca home, which he considers his primary residence.
He also owns undeveloped property in Seneca valued at up to $15,000.
