There are currently seven major candidates vying for the Democratic presidential nomination — and they all come from vastly different financial backgrounds.

Mayor Pete Buttigieg, who is estimated to be worth about $100,000, gave up a comfortable consulting job at McKinsey for a life in public service. He and his husband have been also been open about being among the ranks of millennials still paying off student loan debt. 

Other contenders, like billionaire Democratic activist Tom Steyer, who dropped out of the presidential race on February 29, and former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, the eighth-richest individual in the United States, are extraordinarily wealthy billionaires from success in the private sector.

The Democratic candidates who have recently run for federal office or served in Congress or another federal government position have filed personal financial disclosure forms listing their assets and liabilities.

But because members are only required to report those figures in wide ranges, we don't know the exact net worth of most of the candidates. And for others who haven't recently filed any formal financial disclosures or released tax returns, we only have limited information about their salaries and assets.

Here's everything we know about the net worth and personal finances of every 2020 Democratic presidential candidate, thanks to data collected by Forbes, the Center for Public Integrity and the Center for Responsive Politics.

Pete Buttigieg earned an annual salary of $104,000 as the mayor of South Bend, Indiana, and had an estimated net worth of $100,000 as of last summer, according to Forbes.

Remembering Joanne Pransky

A version of this post original appeared in TechCrunch’s weekly robotics newsletter, Actuator . It has been updated to include details about a new scholarship fund being raised in her honor.  I didn’t know Joanne Pransky personally, so when news of her death broke late last month, I reached out to my LinkedIn followers, asking if any of them did. “Yes,” answered one, “didn’t everyone?” Over decades of work, Pransky has left a lasting impact on the industry, bringing a uniquely human element to conversations about robotics and automation. “Joanne was the epitome of ‘Think Different,’” iRobot co-founder and Tertill CEO Helen Greiner told me over email. “She was a pioneer in calling attention to what robots would mean for society and what human society would mean for the robots.” Pransky proudly adopted the title of “the world’s first real Robotic Psychiatrist,” devoting herself to act as a conduit between humans and robots. “My ultimate goal is to help people understand their emotiona

Winging it

Once again, your intrepid robotics reporter finds himself in the warm embrace of the Bay. To paraphrase Mark Twain, the warmest I was ever embraced was early summer in Santa Clara. I’m writing this from a juice place in Palo Alto (living the dream), having finished a pair of back-to-back meetings nearby. This week’s big Apple event brought me out here. As strange as it is to say, I’ve thus far missed the eye-burning smoke of Nova Scotia wildfires by traveling west to California. Very strange to view the apocalyptic New York skyline from afar. Though I suppose predictability is an element of climate change we’re going to be grappling with for . . . I don’t know, ever, probably. I’ve covered the Apple experience a bunch this week. If you have time to read only one thing I wrote on the Vision Pro headset , I’d recommend this . It’s mostly about positioning and market fit. There’s not a ton about the system that’s applicable to the manner of stuff you normally encounter in this newslet
