Michele Bachmann Net Worth

US Representative and Presidential candidate Michele Bachmann has an estimated net worth of about $3 million. While that net worth may seem like a lot, remember that a presidential candidate needs a lot of money to run a campaign. Her career in politics began in a sense while she was in college. According to Bachmann, who grew up in a relatively politically liberal household, was reading a novel by Gore Vidal in which the author was "mocking the founding fathers." It was this moment that sent Bachmann careening towards being the conservative icon that she's become today. From there, she became notable in the world of abortion protesting, taking part in a process known as "sidewalk counseling."
