  • Thirteen billionaires and ten people known from television or the entertainment world will be part of Donald Trump's cabinet, which will be sworn in on Friday, January 20. The political circle of the 47th President of the United States will be one of the most unconventional in history.

The article from MSN discusses the composition of former President Donald Trump's cabinet, highlighting the significant wealth and media prominence of its members. It notes that Trump's administration was often referred to as a "billionaire's cabinet" due to the inclusion of several high-profile, wealthy individuals. Key figures mentioned include Betsy DeVos, the Education Secretary with a net worth of over $1 billion, and Wilbur Ross, the Commerce Secretary, known for his vast business empire. The article also touches on the media stars like Ben Carson, who, despite his background in neurosurgery, became a well-known figure in conservative media before joining the cabinet as Secretary of Housing and Urban Development. The piece critiques the influence of wealth and media presence in shaping policy and public perception, suggesting that these appointments were strategic to align with Trump's business-first approach to governance.
