According the Center for Representative Politics, Greg Pence's net worth is valued at just over $12 million. As you might imagine, he's been working a bit harder in the private sector than his brother Mike in order to amass those millions. Roll Call reported in 2018 that the majority of his wealth comes from a pair of antique malls in his home state of Indiana. The larger mall, a sprawling 72,000-square-foot complex in Edinburgh, Indiana, is his biggest asset. Here, fans of old dusty things can find "everything from a $10 U.S. Capitol porcelain plate to an $800 barbecue bull that lets smoke out of its nose, with plenty of Elvis figurines, costume jewelry, knives and grandfather clocks stuffed in between." He owns another antique mall in the nearby town of Bloomington. But, how does a guy get rich from selling antiques?
Rent at one of the 600 booths at the Edinburgh mall starts at $189 per month, and he takes a commission from each sale made. It may not seem too lucrative, but these rents and cuts of vendor sales apparently add up. For example, a local brewery ended up paying $9,000 for a table made out of repurposed wood from an old barn. (Beer people. Yeesh.) But profits aren't the only thing the antiques have brought Greg Pence. Some items ended up bringing him some unwanted controversy.
