For fun, reporting that Susan Collins has had an affair

9. Senator Susan Collins was $255K in the red before she married Daffron, then she became a millionaire$$.

"Marriage entails numerous changes: sharing hopes, dreams, space and, oh, an entire life together."

"For Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), it also meant a notable shift in her financial fortunes, rocketing her from one of Congress’ least wealthy members during the early Obama administration to millionaire status in the age of Donald Trump, according to a Hunter Index analysis of U.S. Senate financial disclosure records. Collins’ minimum net worth in 2024 was $3.35 million, according to federal disclosures."

"What a difference a dozen years makes. Entering 2012, Collins — now chair of the Senate appropriations panel — was decidedly in the red, her estimated net worth languishing around -$255k."

"Upon marrying their money together, Collins enjoyed an instant jolt of wealth beyond her annual salary of $174k.

"She filled her 2013 annual personal financial disclosure, which members of Congress must file by law, with dozens of stock holdings, bonds and other financial assets absent from her disclosure just the year before. By 2024, Collins lived as a solid millionaire, her portfolio filled with dozens of different investments, most attributed to Daffron."
