Alexandria Ocasio Cortez: $200K

It is probably difficult to imagine that there was a time when no one in American politics knew who Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was. After college, moved back to the Bronx and took a job as a bartender to fight against the foreclosure of their home. Given her background, she is not loaded.

She had no blind trust for undisclosed assets. She earned $6K from her campaign as a salary. In her first year as a Congresswoman, Alexandra made $174K. She also receives a $3K annual living expense credit, health/insurance, and retirement benefits.
