Jeb studied at the University of Texas at Austin before beginning his career at the Texas Commerce Bank. He later became the governor of Florida for two terms before launching a bid to run for president in 2016. However, he dropped out of the race due to disappointing primary results.
While campaigning in 2015, Jeb released 33 years of tax returns, revealing his net worth had soared $29 million after he left the governor’s office. So how did he make all that money?
Jeb has apparently earned millions from speaking arrangements at organizations such as the National Automobile Dealers Association and the American Council of Life Insurers. Today, he's worth around $40 million.

George currently stands as the only president to hold an MBA, which has no doubt helped him amass his sizeable fortune throughout his lengthy and somewhat divisive career.
However, even the controversy surrounding the Iraq War hasn't made a dent in George's earning potential. Since leaving the presidency behind, his wealth has continued to grow and he's now worth around $40 million.
Donald Trump Jr is the eldest son of President Trump and his first wife Ivana.
Donald Jr. has worked for the family business since he was a teenager, launching his career at The Trump Organization back in 2001. He's currently executive vice president and a trustee of the business.
His close bond with his dad means he's played a major role in Donald Trump's presidential campaigning and activities in recent years. With his father currently gearing up to run for president again, Donald Jr also acts as one of his political advisors.
Donald Jr and his siblings Eric and Ivanka reportedly earned $15 million each from the sale of their 7.5% stakes in the International Hotel in Washington DC in 2022.
He's currently believed to be worth $300 million.
Eric Trump is the third child of 45th POTUS Donald Trump and his first wife Ivana.
Eric followed in the footsteps of his dad and his older siblings, Ivanka and Donald Jr, by appearing on The Apprentice. He served as a boardroom judge on the TV competition between seasons nine and 14.
However, reality TV isn't the only way he's made his money over the years. Eric has earned a fortune as the executive vice president of development and acquisition for The Trump Organization, and was recognized in Forbes’ Top 30 under 30 in real estate in 2012.
Eric founded The Eric Trump Foundation in 2006, which was launched to raise money for St Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
However, the charity was mired in controversy and, according to a statement from Eric Trump on its website, it's now being "restructured and renamed, and under new leadership."
Charitable contention aside, Eric has reportedly amassed a staggering fortune of around $300 million.
Ivana Marie Trump, better known by her nickname "Ivanka", is the second child of Ivana and Donald Trump.
Ivanka first found success in fashion after creating her own ranges of handbags and footwear, which were sold throughout America in stores such as Macy's. The venture became a huge success and, at one stage, was making upwards of $75 million dollars a year in revenue.
Business-savvy Ivanka reportedly received a 7% share of wholesale revenues each year until she opted to close the business in 2018.
Ivanka has written two books, The Trump Card: Playing to Win in Work and Life (2009) and Women Who Work: Rewriting the Rules for Success (2017).
Although she's worth around $300 million in her own right, Ivanka's wealth skyrocketed when she married businessman Jared Kushner in 2009. Jared's family owns real estate empire Kushner Companies, with Forbes reporting the clan was worth at least $1.8 billion in 2016.
Ivanka and Jared, who share three children, are believed to be worth around $1.1 billion together.
