Jeb Bush is worth up to $22 million

[spanone]

Washington (CNN)Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush is worth as much as $22 million, his campaign said Tuesday.

The former Florida governor released 33 years of tax returns -- the most ever revealed by a presidential candidate -- that showed he paid an average effective tax rate of 36%. His net worth is between $19 million and $22 million, aides said.

Bush's finances improved dramatically in the years after he left the governors mansion, thanks to big paychecks from speeches and consulting. After his net worth declined during his eight years in office, Bush's income exploded in 2007 -- to nearly $2.3 million or about 772% more than he earned during his final year as governor.

And his income only continued to grow. In 2013, the latest year available, Bush brought in $7.4 million. All told, Bush earned about $28.5 million between 2007 and 2013. He gave almost $750,000 to charity during that time.

6. Truly amazing,

considering that the top tax rate during the Reagan years was 35% and the top tax rate now is 39.6% and those are marginal rates. Surely someone who is rich and intelligent would have found tax shelters to lower the average rate paid? However, I am probably over-estimating his intelligence. Something seems fishy to me.
