Donald Trump's cabinet is the richest in modern history

Donald Trump has selected fellow billionaires - and a handful of millionaires too - for his administration's cabinet, making it the richest in modern history 

Donald Trump is assembling a team of like-minded billionaires and millionaires to be a part of his administration's cabinet.

The members of his team are so wealthy that the Washington Post is already calling Trump's cabinet the richest in modern history.  

Trump, who himself is worth an estimated $3.7billion according to Forbes - although he has said he is worth far more - has picked the daughter of a shipping magnate, the co-owner of the Chicago Cubs and some of the richest people in the US. 

The Republican president-elect is following in the tradition of President Warren G. Harding, who appointed one of the country's wealthiest Americans, Andrew Mellon, to be his treasury secretary. Mellon would serve under three presidents overall. 

Many of Trump's picks come from family money, though some have gotten rich on Wall Street as well. Read more dailymail
