Talk:List of presidents of the United States by net worth

Table expansion?

This table could be improved with more information, for example, columns for occupation/source of wealth, wealth in then-dollars and the year (was it when they entered office? left office? died?). --Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 17:23, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

Half a billion for Washington? It would be interesting to know the methodology used to come by that conclusion. I'm guessing they (CSM) are taking the present day Virginian farm land value (8000 usd an acre?) and applying it retrospectively to his 60,000 acres. Which is cute but would be no where near the liquidation value of his land at the time of his death adjusted for inflation. All of which is saying that figure is a bit of a nonsense.

Could be true. He was rich. 108.3.135.124 (talk) 20:17, 26 October 2012 (UTC)

Kennedy

Kennedy's range should be explained in a footnote. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 22:37, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

Inflation Adjusted dollars

These numbers are all in 2010 dollars, which means that they are inflation-adjusted. The results will depend on the value you use for inflation adjustment.

It would be valuable if the table also showed their actual net worth, in unadjusted dollars. Geoffrey.landis (talk) 22:18, 20 January 2015 (UTC)

Errors

The caption below Barack Obama states he is the 21st wealthiest president but directly below him in the spread sheet is Polk with 2 million more. He is either 22nd or 23rd.

Kennedy's wealth is listed as 125 - 1,000 million yet he is put on top. I think it is kind of ridiculous to have such a huge range in numbers

All early Presidents rich?

"but by no means were all early Presidents rich" --> the table claims exactly the same + no source for this statement.
