Biden was an attorney for ten years before he became a senator, so there is no doubt he's got some money.

Google him up and look past the obvious. I googled up Biden wealth and quickly found out about his 2.5 million dollar home that was co-signed for by that big credit card corporatation CEO.
There are a LOT of ways to be "wealthy"
Nice homes, nice cars, living a lifestyle that the 99% WISH they had.
And you don't necessarily have to show things in your name either.
My grandfather was worth millions. But he had everything in other family members names. Owned 3 nice homes (including one on a lake)...not one of them was in his name.
He spread everything out in the names of his kids and grandkids. Structured his money to not show a lot of "profit" on his income tax.
It happens all the time.
As for Biden being a lawyer for ten years BEFORE he became a lifetime career politician? How old was he? He's been in Washington D.C. for over 40 years (jan. of 1973) and he is 70 years old.
That means he first started sucking the govt tit when he was 30. If he graduated high school at 18 then he had to go to college and law school for a few years...So there is no way he was an "attorney" for ten years before he became a career politician.
By the time he got out of school he would have been in his mid 20's. And you think he made a fortune as a lawyer in his mid-20's?
He would have been working under a real lawyer with a practice at that point. No way he would have had his own practice and/or have been successful by that time.
Never met a millionaire lawyer who was in his 20's fresh out of law school before.
Nope...just ask yourself this: Would Joe Biden be living the life he is now if not for being a career politician and having all the perks of power?
Mabye.
But he would have had to WORK for it.
