They married in '93. Mitch became wealthier from that marriage. From Wikipedia: "In April 2008, Chao's father gave Chao and McConnell between $5 million and $25 million,[97] which "boosted McConnell's personal worth from a minimum of $3 million in 2007 to more than $7 million"[98] and "helped the McConnells after their stock portfolio dipped in the wake of the financial crisis that year".[99]"

Yeah - I did know the wealth came from his wife's family. I still want some investigation into exactly how he was re-elected last time. The vote numbers are a bit screwy.

I'd certainly like to know the details on that, too!

The first Ms McTurtle didn't bring in as much bacon.
