5. Richard Nixon
If you have money to do all the things that you want, does it really matter where you got them from? Probably yes, probably not, but that’s what Mr. Nixon actually did.
Given the way former President Nixon ended his political career in 1974 due to the Watergate scandal, it’s not that surprising to discover that he was a master of gambling. Sources say that he was a very skilled poker player, and he learned all his tricks, which were based on bluffing and deception before he entered the Navy.
Now, about the merger between money and political careers, it’s known that he paid for his congressional campaign in 1946 thanks to his power winnings. If you want to learn more about the Watergate scandal, check out this book and discover the story that shocked the world!

Kennedy was my favorite. To this day I read or watch everything published on Kennedy and Jackie.
Wasn’t it George H.W. Bush who was the good baseball player? As I recall the stories, Bush Senior played first base for the Yale team that went to the College World Series and that played against Cal.
