Federal records tell us Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton enjoys a personal net worth of $32 million. And Republican nominee Donald Trump has claimed he's worth much more than $10 billion, but reports assets in the range of $1.4 billion to $2 billion, and liabilities between $265 million and $451 million.
