WASHINGTON, May 16 (RIA Novosti) - U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney is five time richer than his boss George Bush, the two officials' financial reports indicate.
In financial disclosure reports for 2006, President Bush put his assets at between $7.5-20 million, while Cheney estimated his net worth five times higher at $21-100 million. Bush biggest asset is his Texas ranch valued at $1-5 million, while Cheney has $10.5 mln in defense bonds, and $5.1 mln in other equities.
Cheney was also given more expensive gifts than Bush with an approximate value of $21,764 against Bush's $12,354.
The financial disclosure reports are mandatory for all U.S. lawmakers, but the information they give is on a voluntary basis and is a rough estimate of their wealth.
