Kevin Warsh, nominated to be the next Federal Reserve Chair, disclosed a personal net worth estimated between $135 million and $226 million ahead of his Senate confirmation hearing scheduled for April 21. This financial disclosure, analyzed by CNBC, highlights Warsh as potentially the first Federal Reserve Chair with a net worth exceeding $100 million.
