Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham served in Congress for more than three decades, but public disclosure estimates show he died with a modest net worth compared to many of his longtime Washington colleagues.<\/p>\n

The senator died with a net worth of about $1.4 million, with congressional disclosures from May showing a lower-end estimate of just over $600,000 and an upper estimate of a little more than $2.2 million, according to financial disclosures he filed in May. Despite serving in Congress<\/a> for 31 years, Graham ranked at 294th in wealth among the 535 voting members of Congress, according to data from the Quiver Quantitative.<\/p>\n

Graham died at age 71, meaning that his net worth at the end was relatively normal. Individuals between the ages of 65 and 74 have an average net worth of $1.79 million and a median net worth of $409,900, according to Fidelity.<\/p>\n

Though transparency experts have long argued that allowing members of Congress to trade individual stocks enables them to abuse non-public information for personal gain, Graham largely avoided this criticism as almost all his assets were mutual funds or government bonds<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As a senator, Graham earned an annual salary of $174,000.<\/p>\n

While Graham\u2019s wealth was humble by D.C. standards, he still came a long way from where he started.<\/p>\n

The senator spent his early life living with his sister and parents in a small room attached to their family restaurant in Central, South Carolina<\/a>, which he helped run. The Graham family later moved into a mobile home.<\/p>\n

“It’s not a log cabin like Abe Lincoln, but he grew up in a mobile home, which is South Carolina’s equivalent of it, I guess,” Warren Mowry, Graham’s law school roommate, said in 2015.<\/p>\n

The senator\u2019s parents died in quick succession after he left home for college, leaving him to care for his 13-year-old sister at the age of 22. Graham, an Air Force veteran, was the first in his family to attend university.<\/p>\n

Graham died Saturday night following a “brief and sudden illness” after a trip to Ukraine<\/a>, according to his office. The DC medical examiner\u2019s office has stated that his preliminary cause of death was a ruptured aorta caused by chronic heart disease<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“I can\u2019t die now. I still need to do the Russia sanctions, get Iran sorted out and do Israeli-Saudi normalization,” Graham joked shortly before his death, according to a source close to the lawmaker.<\/p>\n

Graham\u2019s staff did not respond to a request for comment when reached by Fox News Digital on Monday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
