Florida Gov. Rick Scott saw his net income plummet in 2010 from the year before, but the Naples business executive still showed a net worth of $102 million, according to financial disclosure forms filed with the state.
Last year when he was running for governor, the former health care executive said he was worth $218 million.
Scott’s wealth, which dropped in part because he spent more than $70 million of his own money to finance a successful gubernatorial campaign, also still topped that of all other Cabinet officials combined, according to reports filed with the Commission on Ethics that were due July 1.
Despite the lower net worth, Scott reported 2010 income of $11.5 million, up nearly 46 percent from the $7.9 million he posted in 2009. It’s almost all investment income; as governor, Scott makes 1 cent a year.

Yeah, he didn’t know people below him were ripping the taxpayers off. BS!!!!! No wonder health care cost SO MUCH!! Rot In Hell Governor. I hope you come down with a terrible disease with NO Cure and you suffer. I pray you fear God Too!!!
