President Trump's pick to be the new chair of the Federal reserve, Kevin Warsh, has officially confirmed the massive scope of his vast wealth in a new disclosure.
Documents submitted by Warsh show that his wealth significantly exceeds that of all recent Fed chairs, with holdings of $131 million to $209 million.
Even the high-end figure for Warsh is almost certainly a low estimate, as the disclosure details multiple assets described as exceeding $50 million, with no upper limit.
That's not counting hundreds of millions in additional assets held by his wife, Jane Lauder.
The paperwork is required for Warsh's nomination to advance in the US Senate, ahead of hearings that have not yet been scheduled.
In late January, President Trump nominated Warsh to take over from Fed Chair Jerome Powell, whose most recent filing indicated personal wealth of $19 million to $75 million.
'On top of everything else, he is "central casting," and he will never let you down,' Trump posted on social media.
If confirmed by the Senate, Warsh would succeed Powell, whose term ends on May 15.
Warsh, a Stanford scholar, served on the Fed's Board of Governors from 2006 until 2011, playing a crucial role in rescuing Wall Street during the financial crisis.
He was appointed at age 35, making him the youngest governor in the bank's history.
Powell's tenure has been marked by clashes with Trump over his refusal to cut interest rates.
The dispute came to head on January 11 when Powell revealed that he had been subpoenaed by the Justice Department - although courts later dismissed the case.
Warsh will have to contend with pressures from the President, trade wars, AI-related labor uncertainty and cryptocurrencies.
The 55-year-old is a scholar and lecturer at Stanford, a member of the international Group of 30 and a member of the Panel of Economic Advisers at the Congressional Budget Office.
Some analysts speculate Warsh's nomination is a welcome one due to his Fed experience and Wall Street's view that he won't always do Trump's bidding.
But that doesn't mean he's a shoe-in.
On March 13, a federal judge quashed two subpoenas the Justice Department issued to the Fed, marking a major setback for US Attorney Jeanine Pirro's criminal investigation into Powell.
In a blistering 27-page decision unsealed March 13, US District Judge James Boasberg determined that the subpoenas were improper.
'There is abundant evidence that the subpoenas' dominant (if not sole) purpose is to harass and pressure Powell either to yield to the president or to resign and make way for a Fed Chair who will,' Boasberg wrote.
While Powell's term as Fed chair expires in May, his term as a member of the Federal Reserve's board of governors runs through January 2028.
Powell has not said whether he intends to remain at the central bank beyond this year.
