Democrat Montana Sen. Jon Tester – a wealthy politician who recently took aim at “multimillionaires” and concluded that they don’t “understand what a hard day’s work looks like” – has spent his Senate career dining on sumptuous meals at high-end restaurants.

First elected to represent Montana in the Senate in 2007, Tester has sought to brand his role in the upper chamber as a “tireless defender of rural America.” His net worth is between $1,768,009 and $6,695,000, according to 2021 Federal Election Commission (FEC) data.

In addition, Tester reported thousands of dollars worth of stocks and other investments, as well as bank deposits, in its 2021 records.

While his net worth consists in part of the value of his farmland and associated assets he owns, Tester’s campaign and PAC leadership have spent at least $1.2 million on restaurants and catered events since 2006, according to campaign finance records.
