Jared Kushner
b. 1981
White House adviser turned dealmaker, cashing government access into private funds.
Jared Kushner ran Middle East policy from the Trump White House, then converted the relationships into a private-equity fortune: a $2 billion check from Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund months after leaving office, and real-estate ventures on government-linked sites in the Balkans. He is the clean case study in the revolving door between statecraft and self-dealing.
