I once heard Barry Goldwater mention the fact that Lyndon Johnson was virtually penniless when Johnson first came to Washington & went into the Congress. But by the time that Johnson left the Congress for the White House a few years later -- he was a multi-millionaire.
It's always fascinated me how it's possible to do that on a Congressman's salary.
