Who was the richest President?? Hint: He had 525 million of these with his picture on it..
Well, of course he did not have his picture on a dollar until much later...BUT George Washington was by far the "richest" President who gained the wealth mostly on his own (JFK had access to immense family wealth)...The list (From The Atlantic) is interesting and gives their wealth in today's dollars to give you some perspective...(HT: Carpe Diem)
