Compared to other private equity titans, Mitt Romney is arguably poor.
Romney, the Republican presidential nominee who helped pioneer the private equity industry as co-founder of Bain Capital,
is worth an estimated $250 million, according to Bloomberg News -- but other private equity executives are billionaires. According to Bloomberg, Romney missed out on the big (pay day) when he started doing public service, and he
would be a billionaire today if he had stayed at Bain Capital.
This complicates
claims made by President Barack Obama's campaign that Romney is motivated mostly by money.
