Karl Rove net worth and salary: Karl Rove is an American political advisor and and consultant who has a net worth of $8 million. Karl Rove is one of the most feared political operatives in modern history. He is famous for using his often ruthless but inarguably effective talents to, most notably, get George W. Bush elected to the White House. Rove first got involved in politics in 1968, when he served as the “Olympus High chairman for Wallace F. Bennett’s re-election campaign.” From there, Rove quickly became familiar with the kinds of controversy that follow him even into the present day. As a 19 year old political operative, Rove stole a thousand sheets of campaign letterhead from the offices of Alan Dixon, who was running for Treasurer of Illinois. He then printed “free beer, free food, girls and a good time for nothing” on the letterhead and distributed the fake campaign fliers to homeless shelters and rock concerts. Described much later by Rove himself as a “youthful prank,” the tactic failed to lose Dixon the election, but is certainly reminiscent of “dirty tricks” Rove has been accused of more recently. One of the most infamous of these dirty tricks was spreading the rumor among rural sections of the electorate that presidential candidate John McCain fathered an illegitimate black child.

Tim Pawlenty net worth: Tim Pawlenty is an American politician who has a net worth of $3 million. Tim Pawlenty is a republican politician and former governor of Minnesota In addition to his net worth, he has a reputation as one of the more reasonable conservatives currently in the public eye today. His most recent achievement was dropping out of the 2012 presidential race after coming in third in the Iowa straw poll behind fellow candidates Ron Paul and Michele Bachmann. Pawlenty’s career in politics began in his home state of Minnesota, when in 1990 he served as a campaign manager for Jon Grunseth, who failed to clinch enough votes to win the election. After Pawlenty himself was elected governor of Minnesota in 2003, he appointed Grunseth’s former wife Vicky Tigwell to a prominent position, which became a source of controversy later. In 1992, Pawlenty won his first state election, being elected to the Minnesota House of Representatives. Pawlenty was reelected four times, and his popularity in the state of Minnesota remained somewhat stable. Since then, Pawlenty was elected as governor of Minnesota, serving two consecutive terms before eventually running for president. In 2008, Pawlenty was also reportedly one of the top choices to serve as John McCain’s vice presidential candidate.
