Frugal Bernie is a case apart from the two other presidential candidates who don't crack a million.

Only three candidates had a net worth that didn’t crack a million bucks: Bernie Sanders, Marco Rubio, and Martin O’Malley.

The frugal Sanders (net worth $700,000) is a case apart, accumulating very few assets in his lifetime and deriving the bulk of his net worth from his homes in Vermont and Washington, D.C.

With Rubio, his financial mismanagement has been well documented, including the acquisition of a pricey boat and an expensive lease on a luxury car, as liabilities mounted.

We pegged Democratic hopeful Martin O’Malley’s net worth at $0, the lowest of any candidate in the race. O’Malley’s latest filings show he and his wife earned more than $600,000 during the last reporting period, yet, like many Americans, he’s been crushed by student debt, as he tries to put his four children through school.

1. His kid's educaton does not explain a zero net worth for O'Malley

In just the last year alone, he and his wife could have paid $100K for EACH child's education, and still had $200K to live on.

2. I was wondering about that. Combined income of 600K is a lot of money.
