Roth IRA: Can only put in $6,000 per year by law.

A congressional representatives I can't remember the name of: Has over 2 million in Roth IRA.

Some law was broken at some point.

Peter Thiel also. As far as I know, he legally contributed to the IRA and then invested the money in his own businesses, which grew several thousand percent.

That's not necessarily the case. Wasn't it a big issue recently saying that high tech earners had been putting shares of startups into their Roth IRA then it was worth way more than intended later?

Backdoor Roth conversions + outsized gains like mentioned in the image would pretty easily explain that, which is all "perfectly legal"

In 2012, Mitt Romney had over $100 million in a Roth IRA.
