VP contenders' incomes, finances examined
The major party vice presidential nominees -- Democrat Gov. Tim Walz and Republican Sen JD Vance -- sharply disagree on a range of issues, but the differences in their personal finances are just as stark.
Walz, a former teacher and member of the U.S. House of Representatives, earns about $127,000 in salary per year, retains no stock holdings and relies on a pension account as his primary asset, financial disclosures show.
Vance, a former venture capitalist, brought in roughly $221,000 in 2022 from salary and book royalties, as well as hundreds of thousands in investment income, a U.S. Senate financial disclosure showed. He also held significant wealth in brokerage accounts and dozens of business investments, according to the financial disclosure.
