That really only shows assets, not income. While that's very important information for senators (who coincidentally push bills that will benefit their portfolio), it doesn't address income. $34 million doesn't start from a Senate salary, no matter how well invested.
Most additional income comes from things like book deals and speaking fees.
They all have previous sources of income from successful investing, careers, or family wealth. The point is that it's nowhere in the realm of the lies that were posted.
