“This computation would place the value of George Washington’s estate at $34.4 billion in 2017 currency, all of it earned in his business and entrepreneurial activities in the private sector. His service in the public sector contributed nothing to his wealth; on the contrary, it was a distinctly negative factor in his accumulation of assets. For him, it was an immutable policy that public service was not an avenue for the accumulation of wealth.”
