Ann Romney Net Worth $50 million
Ann was one of three children of Lois and Edward Roderick Davies, and apart from American is also of Welsh descent on her father’s side, and who was the co-founder of Jared Industries. She went to private preparatory school, Bloomfield Hills’ Kingswood School where she first met Mitt Romney. The couple began dating in March 1965 and continued their relationship through high school. In 1967, Ann enrolled at Brigham Young University, and during 1968 spent one semester in France, studying at the prestigious University of Grenoble. Upon her return to the States, Ann and Mitt reunited and married less than a year later, in March 1969. In the course of the next several years, this marriage provided a worthy basis for Ann Romney’s net worth.
In 1970, they welcomed their first son. Despite being slowed by parenthood, after taking several night courses, Ann obtained her Bachelor of Arts degree in French Language from Brigham Young University in 1975. Following her husband’s footsteps, in 1977 Ann put some efforts towards her political career on her own, and ran for town meeting representative’s position. However, after Mitt lost the 1994 US Senate elections “race”, Ann abandoned her active political career for good. In 2002, Ann became the First Lady of Massachusetts as her spouse was elected as the 70th Governor. It is certain that this “role”, not only boosted Ann’s popularity, but also her fortune as well.
More serious media attention she gained during the 2008 US Presidential Elections during which she actively participated in helping her husband’s campaign. During the 2012 US Presidential Elections, Ann played even more significant part in Mitt Romney’s campaign. Doubtlessly, all these efforts helped her to gain more publicity which resulted with an expansion of her net worth.
Apart from all those already mentioned above, in 1998 Ann was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, while in 2008 doctors discovered that she suffers from ductal carcinoma in situ, a form of a breast cancer. After undergoing several medical and alternative treatments, she managed to beat the disease and now is cancer-free.
With her husband Mitt, Ann has welcomed five sons, as well as 23 grandchildren. She is avidly involved in equestrian, winning several memorable honors such as the silver medal at the 2005 Grand Prix and 2006 gold medal. Besides all these, Ann is also actively involved in several charity organizations including Families First, Stand for Children and detention center of the Massachusetts Department of Youth Services among several others.
