Shuffling through the 50 wealthiest members on Capitol Hill, I figured no Oregonians would make the list.

A significant part comes from his wife's holdings, including a "famous" New York City bookstore. See below:
Despite Wyden's fat wallet, he still flys coach, where he's comfortable enough to take his shoes off, as I saw on a flight back from DC last year.
