Yang and his supporters, who call themselves the “Yang Gang,” often complain of a lack of media coverage for his candidacy in the last debate, hosted by MSNBC, he received the least amount of speaking time of the 10 candidates on stage, despite polling better than half of them. Yang is one of only seven candidates to quality for the December Democratic primary debate, and the only person of color. (Nine candidates, led by Booker, have signed a petition to expand the qualifying criteria for the debates.) With a $10 million fundraising haul in the third quarter, Yang’s team is beefing up his operations in key early voting states like Iowa, New Hampshire, and Nevada, hoping to exceed expectations as primary voting begins so that he can catch fire by Super Tuesday, when 14 states will hold presidential nominating contests and 40 percent of the delegates for the Democratic party’s nomination will be decided.
He will also be the only person of color on stage since California Senator Kamala Harris dropped out of the race earlier this month, and New Jersey Senator Cory Booker failed to qualify. The businessman, often described as a millionaire, has a net worth of $1 million according to Forbes, making him in fact less wealthy than all but one of the seven candidates who have qualified for the upcoming primary debate.

So when I planned to document two days of Yang’s campaign trail eating habits, his staffers weren’t concerned - even after photos of fellow candidate Pete Buttigieg’s particular method of eating a cinnamon roll went viral following my previous campaign embed.
#ANDREW YANG NET WORTH GENERATOR#
Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang sometimes seems more like a walking meme generator than a man trying to become the most powerful person in the world: He jokes that he’s the “Asian Oprah” for his Freedom Dividend proposal, which guarantees a universal basic income of $1,000 a month he streams videos of himself dancing to Luniz’s “I Got Five on It,” a song about splitting the cost of marijuana and at a campaign office opening in Manchester, New Hampshire, he sprayed whipped cream into the mouth of a kneeling supporter.
