Great concept for a quiz but:

* Please specify whether pre or post presidency. Bill Clinton seems to be post-presidency.

* Please cite a source and mention that the numbers are inflation-adjusted.

* Looks like JFK should probably be on there: https://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-politicians/presidents/john-f-kennedy-net-worth/

* Andrew Johnson was commercially successful and probably well over $1M in today's money.

The time limit is also very long. 3:00 would be appropriate for a quiz like this. Much longer and any skilled quizzer can just name every president.

Lol at the fact that the 10 poorest US presidents all held office more than almost 100 years ago. You could never get elected(it would be very difficult at least) to the US Presidential office today without at least being a millionaire lol.

True, none of them were super recent, but at least the two poorest (according to this list) were both within the last 100 years (albeit only slightly for Coolidge).

Great idea! Agree that 15 minutes is way too long. One only needs about 2 minutes to type all the presidents' names.

Most importantly, is this at the time of becoming president? At the time of death? Something else?

Also, what is the source?

Is Trump's worth what he reports? or what is actual?

Wikipedia listed the source for his networth to be Forbes.
