Mike Pence Net Worth $2 Million
Mike Pence was raised with five siblings in his hometown by his father, Edward Joseph Pence Jr., and his mother, Nancy Jane. He attended Columbus North High School, where he became interested in politics, and was a volunteer with the Bartholomew County Democratic Party. Upon matriculation in 1977, he enrolled in Hanover College, graduating with a BA degree in History in 1981. Right after graduation, he started working at the college as a counselor for the next two years, before continuing his education at the Indiana University’s Robert H. McKinney School of Law, from which he earned his JD degree in 1986.
Subsequently, Mike’s career as a lawyer began that year when he started working in private practice. Two years later, he became involved in politics as he decided to run for a congressional seat during the same year, and again in 1990, both of which he lost to Democratic official Phil Sharp. Nonetheless, he became a part of the State Policy Network in the following year, and at the same time, he was chosen to become the president of the Indiana Policy Review Foundation. Mike served in that position until 1993, when he decided to run his own “The Mike Pence Show” on WRCR-FM radio in Rushville, Indiana. Afterwards, between 1995 and 1999 he was a host of a political talk show, which marked the beginning of an increase of his net worth.
Nevertheless, Mike’s big comeback was in 2000, when he ran again to become the US Representative for Indiana’s 2nd congressional district, this time winning it. Since then his career has only gone upwards as well as his net worth, as he has served as the Chairman of the Republican Study Committee from 2005 to 2007, and during 2006 he ran for leader of the Republican Party in the House of Representatives, and although he was defeated by Representative John Boehner, Mike didn’t give up, winning it in 2009.
To speak further about his career, Mike’s next major success came in 2013, when he won the election for the 50th governor of Indiana, and served in that position for the next four year, which added a considerable amount to his net worth. Most recently, he won the position of the 48th Vice President of the United States, defeating Tim Kaine with 48.2%, so his net worth is certainly rising.
When it comes to speak about his personal life, Mike Pence has been married to Karen Pence since 1985; the couple has three children together. Their current residence is in the official residence of the Vice President of the United States, at Number One Observatory Circle, located in Washington, D.C.
