With billionaire Donald Trump the Republican Party's nominee for President of the United States and Hillary Clinton releasing her recent tax returns, CNBC listed the top 10 richest presidents in history.

JFK inherited his wealth from his father, who invested in stocks and commodities before turning to real estate and other businesses.

Raymond James Launches Mobile App
Raymond James launched several new technology tools for advisors over the last month, including an “Advisor Mobile” app that advisors can use to look up client and account information from an iOS device.
