Kevin Warsh's wealth eclipses that of all recent Federal Reserve chairs, newly released financial disclosure forms show.
Warsh is President Donald Trump's nominee to succeed Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. His financial filings show that Warsh has holdings of approximately $131 million to $209 million, plus hundreds of millions in additional assets held by his wife, Jane Lauder.
That would make Warsh significantly richer than Powell, who, at the time of his 2018 confirmation, was thought to be the wealthiest Fed chair in history. Powell's most recent filing, for 2025, shows wealth between $19 million and $75 million.
Even the high-end figure for Warsh is almost certainly a low estimate. He details multiple assets described as exceeding $50 million, with no upper limit.
Warsh declined to comment.
