I might add to your stats on presidents being greatly enriched: Carter and Bush I were only in office for half the time of the others, except for Nixon who also did not serve 2 full terms.
True dat! ...Also-your mention of Nixon has me going down the rabbit hole yet again. As you are undoubtedly aware, Nixon took the dollar off the gold-standard, and the petro-dollar reigned supreme until now. It's a multi-polar world due to the BRICS alliance. I wonder what tricky Dick would have to say about BRICS. Nixon is also remembered for "stagflation." I expect he had enough retirement capital to age gracefully.
