George Washington was considered a wealthy man when he became president. He had extensive landholdings, including Mount Vernon, and owned hundreds of enslaved individuals who worked on his properties. However, compared to some of his fellow Founding Fathers, such as Thomas Jefferson, Washington's wealth was more modest.
