Kevin Warsh’s wealth eclipses that of all recent Federal Reserve chairs, newly released financial disclosure forms show.<\/p>\n
Warsh is President Donald Trump’s<\/a> nominee to succeed Federal Reserve<\/a> Chair Jerome Powell<\/a>. 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. <\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n Warsh also disclosed $10 million in income from his work as an advisor to investor Stanley Druckenmiller, which Warsh has jokingly called his “day job.” He earned some $3 million in additional income from work at Stanford University, where he is a fellow at the conservative Hoover Institution, and for a handful of Wall Street firms.<\/p>\n Warsh’s filings detail roughly 1,800 individual assets. Many individual items are identified as being subject to “pre-existing confidentiality obligations” that prevent him from specifying the underlying assets. <\/p>\n Warsh in the filings pledges to divest these assets if confirmed. <\/p>\n His filings also indicate he will resign from board seats at UPS<\/a>
