Ben Carson Net Worth
Famous retired neurosurgeon, author, and politician Ben Carson is increasingly famous since he announced his decision to run for the US President in 2016. His total net worth is estimated to be around $10 million. None of this money is from public offices since he didn’t hold any yet. He joined Republican Party in 2014.
So where is all this money coming from? First, he made a fortune as a skilled surgeon at Johns Hopkins hospital. Second, he wrote several bestselling books. His stellar net worth is result of combination of these two powerful income sources. He definitely didn’t need to enter politics just to become rich. He’s already pretty wealthy.
Carson is also a very good speaker as he proved in first national debate on Fox News. No wonder that after this debate he grew significantly in polls. He’s educated and charismatic. Carson holds Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from Yale University and Mster’s Degree from the University of Michigan Medical School.
At Yale, he also met his current wife, Lacena “Candy” Rustin in 1971. The couple dated for several years before they got married in 1975. Lacena gave birth to their three sons. Some of Carson’s recent books are named You Have a Brain: A Teen’s Guide to T.H.I.N.K. B.I.G. and One Vote: Make Your Voice Heard. Even if he’s not going to be elected, he’ll at least have a nice material for his next book.
