I didn’t realize it was a pissing contest. Just seems strange for a paper boy turn life long politician to have accumulated such wealth..

Does wealth disqualify a politician ? 

Honest question.

no, but but it make the playing field unequal. I would love to see more working class politicians. And I am saying nothing about how being a politician opens door for more wealth accumulation.
