Including Abraham Lincoln, only four US presidents started out poor. The rest were all prosperous. If history is a judge, to grow up to be a president, you need to first amass sufficient financial wherewithal to withstand often income-less political races. Most of the presidents came from distinguished families. They had the benefit of inheritance, trust funds or access to family money besides whatever they earned on their own.
