Kevin Warsh could become the wealthiest Federal Reserve chairman in history, according to financial disclosures.President Trump’s pick to lead the Fed has holdings in the range of $131 million to $209 million, according to financial disclosures.Precise figures were not available since the documents include open-ended categories, Reuters noted — two of his investments were simply listed as being worth over $50 million each, for instance.His wife Jane Lauder – an Estee Lauder heiress who is worth $1.9 billion, according to Forbes – has tens of millions of assets in her name included in Warsh’s financial disclosures, though many are vaguely listed as “over $1,000,000.”Lauder, 52, currently sits on the board of Estee Lauder, the cosmetics giant founded by her grandmother that owns brands like Bobbi Brown, Clinique and MAC Cosmetics.A nomination hearing in the Senate, which was initially slated for this Thursday but was delayed as the voting committee waited for Warsh’s paperwork, has been rescheduled to April 21, a source familiar with the matter told The Post.Jerome Powell was previously considered the richest person to lead the US central bank, with wealth between $19 million and $75 million as of 2025, according to his most recent filings. He built much of his wealth working as a partner at the Carlyle Group, one of the world’s largest private equity firms.Warsh’s financial disclosures included $10 million in income from his work at investor Stanley Druckenmiller’s family office – which he has jokingly called his “day job” – and $3 million from his work at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution, a conservative think tank.The Fed nominee holds roughly 1,800 individual assets, though many are subject to “pre-existing confidentiality obligations” that prevented him from providing specifics.

Warsh has vowed to divest those assets if confirmed as Fed chairman.Warsh said he will also resign from his other jobs and exit his board seat...
