Sen. Kay Hagan ranks 35th on The Hill's Rich List, a compilation of the 50 wealthiest lawmakers in Washington.

The feature cited Hagan's stock holdings in drug makers Pfizer and Genentech as well as Richmond, Va., based tobacco maker Altria and its subsidiary Philip Morris. Most of her estimated $6.7 million worth is related to her interest in a Florida commercial real estate business owned by her father.

The Hill's rankings, which are admittedly imprecise, list Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry as the richest lawmaker with a worth of $167.8 million, much of which comes from his wife's interest in ketchup.

Hagan is the only member of the state's Congressional delegation to make the Hill's list.

Correction: An earlier version of this post misstated where Altria has its headquarters.

"The feature sited" - it's "cited", not "sited".

Yes, I thought it was only evil mean right-wingers who have lots of filthy lucre.

And stock in Pfizer? Wonder how much Pfizer money & resources went into the drafting of HR3200 & the $160 mil advertising blitz by PhRMA.

I'm shocked, simply shocked.

Seconding that Altria is base in Richmond, VA. Reynolds American and Lorillard are the big cigarette companies that call NC home.

I may be wrong, but Altria is based in Richmond, VA.
