John Kasich
The lesson: Invest in a mix of taxable and tax-free investments
Ohio Gov. John Kasich and his wife have a net worth of between $9 million and $22 million, including at least $2 million of which is invested in tax-free investments such as municipal bonds for several Ohio cities. Interest on general obligation bonds for local governments is not taxed, and drawing from those funds could help the Kasich family offset other taxes when needed.
