United States Representative
#37 in Politics today
US Congressman Henry Cuellar has a net worth of $11 million today, thanks to blatant corruption and lobbying.
Way back in 2019, Cuellar and his wife Imelda had only $600k in balance sheet assets.
But in the last five years, the couple has made millions through investments in an Oil company in Ajerbaijan.
Cuellar has also earned an estimated $2.7 million in the past one year through bribes.

What are these Bribes for?
For Example, In 2020 Cuellar received a $650,000 bribe from a syndicate in Azerbaijan after he agreed to influence legislation favorable to Azerbaijan and deliver a pro-Azerbaijan speech on the floor of the U.S. House.
Similarly, Cuellar has also accepted money from many small banks in Mexico, where many accounts related to drug money were frozen.

In 2019, Cuellar and his wife Imelda had a house property that was worth $365,000 and $120,000 in Bank mortgages.
As on today, the couple owns a 4-bedroom luxury property in Miami, two apartments in Atlanta and 600 acres of land in Maui.
After Henry Cuellar’s Net Worth has increased unimaginably, the media started to raise questions followed by an investigation by the FBI.
What caused the delay in the investigation?
Cuellar has been under the radar of FBI and IRS since many years.
Aay back in 2022, when FBI raided his properties and sealed many documents, everyone thought his time is up.
But thanks to the intervention from the White House and Biden, the case was put on hold and Cuellar continued to indulge in corruption.
