Donald Trump has assembled the wealthiest presidential administration in modern history, including 13 billionaires with a combined net worth exceeding $460 billion. Even excluding Elon Musk, the cabinet's net worth is at least $7 billion. Key appointments include billionaires like Howard Lutnick for Commerce Secretary, Linda McMahon for Education Secretary, and Scott Bessent for Treasury Secretary. Concerns arise about the potential disconnect between these ultra-wealthy individuals and everyday Americans, as well as possible conflicts of interest due to their complex financial histories. Federal law mandates nominees to divest stockholdings to prevent conflicts, but exceptions exist for roles technically outside the government, such as Elon Musk's and B. Ramaswami's positions, which could still significantly impact government operations.
