Dick De Vos runs for Governor of Michigan.
The son of Amway co-founder Rich DeVos is running for Governor of Michigan against Governor Jennifer Granholm. DeVos is running as a Republican
What makes this story interesting to me is the net worth of Dick De Vos. He is one of the richest people to run for public office. Forbes estimated is net worth between $500 million and $3 Billion dollars. Not bad for the son of a co-founder. ( who said there is no money in MLM anway?) Of course the Waltons make him look like a pauper. They started Wal-Mart and everyone in that family seems to be worth around $20 billion.
Why anyone with vast wealth would want to be in public office is beyond me, but so be it. If he wants the job, best wishes to him.
