Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez — $200 Thousand

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, or AOC, is an American public servant and educator who has garnered a net worth of $200,000. In 2018, she served as an elected member of the US Congress, representing New York’s 14th Congressional district. Her annual Congressional salary is said to be $174,000.

When AOC enrolled at Boston University, she became an intern for US Senator Ted Kennedy. At the time, she also helped her family deal with a long probate battle to settle her father’s estate. She said both of her early experiences greatly impacted her life. After graduating with a degree in economics and international relations, AOC worked various odd jobs and launched Brook Avenue Press, a publishing firm aiming to shed a positive light on the Bronx. She also worked as an organizer for Bernie Sander’s campaign and volunteered for many causes until she was recruited by Brand New Congress, an organization that drafts progressive candidates.
