Sen. Risch is among the richest in Congress

Freshman Idaho Sen. Jim Risch is the 13th wealthiest member of Congress, according to a new analysis by Roll Call newspaper, and is richer than the late Ted Kennedy, Sen. John McCain or House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Roll Call pegged Risch's minimum net worth at $19.29 million; he's the only senator or congressman from Idaho or Washington to make Roll Call's "50 Richest" list. / More here at Eye on Boise

Question: If you were that wealthy, how would you spend your time?
