Wes Moore net worth 2022: Meet Maryland's first Black governor

Democrat Wes Moore has made history in Maryland after being elected as the state's first Black governor.

He is only the third Black governor elected in the country.

Moore is a political newcomer and longtime businessman and philanthropist.

He has quickly emerged as a rising star among Democrats, garnering endorsements from celebrities like Oprah Winfrey.

"We have a unique opportunity to make the racial wealth gap history," the Rhodes scholar and Army combat veteran said in his campaign.

Wes Moore's net worth is estimated to be around $5 million in 2022.
