Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) $73.2 million
As a real estate investor, Blumenthal didn’t do well between 2009 and 2010. His net worth fell 23 percent from $94.9 million to $73.2 million. He is fighting the Federal Housing Finance Agency, the overseer of Fannie and Freddie, and new fees they are imposing on his state. “I will fight to stop Fannie and Freddie from punishing Connecticut for protecting its citizens from unfair and abusive foreclosure practices. I am seeking immediate action to reverse this misguided, unacceptable decision."
