Kellyanne Conway's climb — from the strategist behind Donald Trump's rise to his campaign manager to his White House counselor — has been closely watched by the media.
When Conway joined the Trump administration, she and her husband, George Conway, a lawyer in New York City, disclosed assets worth up to $39.3 million. Much of that wealth comes from Kellyanne's political-polling business, which she started at 28 in 1995.
Here's how she has amassed her fortune — and spent it — since graduating law school.
