What is George H. W. Bush’s Net Worth?

George H.W. Bush was an American politician and former American President who had a net worth of $25 million. In particular, his eldest son George W. Bush, who once held the office of President of the United States, is one of several Bush children who are active in politics. Florida’s governor at the time was Jeb Bush, his son.

Childhood

George Herbert Walker Bush was born on June 12, 1924, in Milton, Massachusetts. He was raised in Connecticut’s Greenwich. His father was a very successful investment banker in his line of business. As a result of their wealth, his family was unaffected by the Great Depression.

Bush attended Phillips Academy in Massachusetts and Greenwich Country Day School, where he graduated in 1942 as head of the senior class. Following the graduation, Bush enlisted in the Navy and served as a naval aviator in the Pacific Theater of World War II.

Bush’s aircraft was shot down by the enemy during an attack on Chicijima, and both of his fellow crew mates perished. Many of the downed aviators were arrested, put to death, and then cannibalized by their captors, but Bush was saved by the USS Finback.

In September 1945, Bush was discharged from the military, and in 1948, he earned an honors degree from Yale.

Career To Politics

After graduating from college, Bush relocated his young family to West Texas, where he began a lucrative job in the oil industry. By the time he was 40 years old, he had amassed a million dollars. He then entered politics.

He gained widespread recognition as a Republican Party candidate in the early 1960s. After a failed Senate bid in 1965, he was elected to the US House of Representatives for Texas’s 7th congressional district. Nixon then chose him to lead the Republican National Committee as its chairman in 1972.

To replace Reagan as the 41st President of the United States, Bush waged a victorious presidential campaign in 1988, defeating Democrat Michael Dukakis. He became the first vice president in office since Martin Van Buren in 1836 to win the presidency. Bush was the last president who had served in World War II.

He negotiated the latter years of the Cold War and the unification of Germany while focusing on foreign affairs. In addition to the Berlin Wall falling in 1989 and the Soviet Union dissolving two years later, military actions were carried out in the Persian Gulf and Panama under his administration.

He also mediated and authorized NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement). Bush was defeated by Democrat Bill Clinton in the 1992 presidential election as a result of the nation’s economic downturn and a diminished focus on foreign affairs in the post-Cold War political environment.

With an above-average rating of 56% for his performance as President, he departed office. Barbara Bush and George W. Bush constructed a retirement residence in Houston after he left office. He took annual Greek cruises and frequently visited his holiday property in Kennebunkport.

Although he declined to sit on any business boards, he gave numerous lectures and worked as an advisor for the private equity firm The Carlyle Group. Bush never had a memoir published, but he did collaborate with Brent Scowcroft on “A World Transformed,” a book that examined global policy.

Bush collaborated on humanitarian projects with President Clinton, a former foe who became a friend, frequently after leaving office. Together, they appeared in a number of advertisements urging support for Hurricane Katrina, the Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami of 2004, and other tragedies.

Bush backed Mitt Romney in 2012 as well as John McCain in the 2008 presidential contest, but Barack Obama won both. The Presidential Medal of Freedom was presented to Bush by Obama in 2011. Donald Trump, the 2016 republican nominee, was not supported by George H.W. or George W. Bush, and Bush later admitted that he had voted for Hillary Clinton, the Democratic nominee.

Relationship

Barbara Pierce Bush and George H. W. Bush were wed in 1945. They would have had six kids in the end. In 1953, illness cruelly claimed the life of his 3-year-old daughter, Robin. At the age of 92, former first lady Barbara Bush passed away at her home in Houston, Texas, on April 17, 2018.

On November 30, 2018, George H. W. Bush passed away. He was wheelchair-bound for a portion of his latter years due to Grave’s disease and a kind of Parkinson’s disease.
