Just how much is the Bush family worth?

[Sandpiper]

It's common knowledge that the Bush family is rich, but just how rich are they? I've never actually seen any figures. Can anyone help out with a link?

1. there's no way to know how much in offshore accounts

But I remember when Bush Sr. gave more than his stated net worth to Yale or Harvard. Forget which.

I'd say in the billions. Probably richer than Bill Gates.

2. Not much. Bad fishing in that gene pool.

Oh, you meant money.

3. All of It

Since they can raid the treasury at will,
All Our Bux are Belong to them :-(

8. LOL

Nice reference :D
Bad context to have to make it though, since you're right...

4. Probably richer than Bill Gates. The real elite have their money hidden.

The Bushes were on the forefront of money hiding for many decades. When Bush took office he pushed back the Clinton era target date of July 2001 to open up all offshore banking to govt. scrutiny in the effort to track terror funding and stolen pension funds. BushInc pushed it back to 2005. Does that soundlike an honest move by an honest administration or a way to give themselves and their cronies time to move their money?

John Kerry wrote legislation signed by Cinton to trace the funding of terror by international governments and groups and the Bush administration refused to enforce the law until AFTER 9/11.

Kerry's 1997 book, The New War was all about the funding of terrorism and the tracking of those funds.

BCCI and IranContra opened the doors. Bush family turned to Riggs bank when BCCI became too hot. Then they developed the Carlyle Group. I would say the best guess is that UBS in Switzerland is also hiding billions for BushInc.

I guess it's nice to have friends.
