He has been in the Senate forty-one years. That is how long his wealth has accumulated.

Mitch McConnell and his wife, Elaine Chao, derive their wealth primarily from investments (stocks, bonds, and mutual funds), real‑estate holdings, and family‑linked business/inheritance wealth, rather than from salaries alone.

Instead of being critical and envious of what others accumulate, try it yourself. You can start with a few dollars, just stick with it for several decades.
