Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a young politician who is climbing the ladders in the Democratic party. The 30-year old is a self-proclaimed “Democratic Socialist” and worked as a bartender during her early years, before being elected in New York’s 14th Congressional District for 2019 in the United States House of Representatives.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez or AOC is the youngest woman in the UNC, and she has been really vocal on issues such as health, education, environment immigration among others.
According to a poll on Twitter, AOC is the third most popular US politician only after former U.S President Barack Obama and current President Donald Trump.
On average, a member of congress has a median net worth of around half a million dollars which makes a member of congress, five times wealthier than the median net worth of an American household which is around 100 thousand dollars.
The average age of a member of congress is 57 years old, and given that AOC is only 30, it can be easily assumed that her net worth is lower than the average congressmen.
What is AOC’s Net worth?
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez receives an annual congressional salary of $174,000. A $174,000 salary is a very healthy paycheck for anybody in America, not to mention for a 30-year old as of 2020. This is a steep rise from her prior salary. Last year, she claimed that she had a yearly salary of $26,600 while working in bars and restaurants and also attending college at the same time.
Ocasio-Cortez assets show that she is on the same page as thousands of others millennials. According to reports in 2019, she has under $15,000 saved for retirement in her 401 accounts and her checking account, at the time, was stated to have less than $50,000, and her savings were under $15,000.
Аѕ оf today 2020, АOC hаѕ а nеt wоrth оf around $200 thоuѕаnd. Тhіѕ is a lot lesser than the average member of congress but wіth hеr еlесtіоn аѕ а Соngrеѕѕwоmаn, hеr nеt worth will certainly іnсrеаѕе іn thе futurе.
AOC’s financials were greatly affected by the debts incurred by her student loans. If she keeps working as a member of Congress, there’s no doubt that she will have a net worth of a million by the time she is 40.
