    Just guessing but I'll say Truman, Eisenhower, Nixon, Ford, Reagan. Don't know if Johnson's family had money. Carter's folks were peanut farmers. Farmers can either be wealthy or dirt poor. Clinton came from humble beginnings. Both Bushes were from prominent political families. Obama probably had somebody with enough money to pay for his Harvard education and support him while he was a "community organizer."

    George Bush sr's grandfather started pennzoil,.. Truman may have had money, couldn't tell for sure from wiki,.. Johnson's family was poor,.. Carter's inheritance was split many ways, and he got little cash, built his farm himself, wiki said it was $1million in debt when he left the white house,.. Ford, Clinton and Obama were raised by their mothers,.. you get 400

    I'll bet most of the Presidents, Roosevelt and before were rich

    One of LBJ's grandfathers was a prominent clergyman and the other was the president and Baylor University.

    Carter's father was a successful businessman. By the time Jimmy got his inheritance he was already grown and didn't need his family's money to make his way in the world.


    Most of the early presidents were weathy cotton farmers. Washington had a number one successful enterprises besides his farming and he married a wealthy widow.

    Lincoln was born in a log cabin. Both Roosevelts were rich as was Kennedy.

    I don't know a lot about the early life of most presidents.

    Mark Cuban came from a middle class family of Russian immigrants. As a youth
    he sold plastic garbage bags door to door.
    In college he made money teaching sorority girls how to dance. When he moved to Dallas he was driving an old Fiat with a hole in the floorboards.

    A lot cooler to be a gigolo with college girls than cougars or blue haired old ladies.

    He actually made his money in a way that was new for the time. He developed broadcast.com and sold it to Yahoo for $5 billion.

    @COTiger you are not the only one in this board with many years, wearing a uniform for Uncle Sam. Maybe you should recognize that.
