Everything We Know About Beto O'Rourke's Net Worth & Real Name

Come election time in the United States, voters are just dying to know any bit of information they can about the political figures in the running, whether it be about policy or their personal lives.

For many Texans right now, the focus is on the 2022 gubernatorial race between Republican incumbent Greg Abbott and Democrat Beto O'Rourke, and there's no shortage of questions the public has about the two competitors.

According to popular Google searches, many people are curious about O'Rourke's net worth and even about the "real" name of the candidate born and raised in the western corner of the Lone Star State.

The answer to the hot question surrounding O'Rourke's assets is likely around $9 million, as Celebrity Net Worth reports, based on his most recent disclosure to congress.

CNW says its data "is rooted in financial analysis, market research, and inside sources that we have meticulously developed over the last decade to maintain accuracy and breadth of knowledge."

The politician, who is also referred to as a businessman, owns at least $3 million in real estate and $6 million worth of other investments, according to CNW.

O'Rourke lives in El Paso with his wife Amy and their three kids, where he was born Robert Francis O'Rourke.

According to the El Paso Times, the Texan has been called by the nickname of "Beto" since childhood, and was even registered at his childhood school as "Beto O'Rourke."

However, Sen. Ted Cruz (who, ironically, was born Rafael Edward Cruz) challenged this fact in 2018, claiming that O'Rourke had recently changed his name to appeal to voters.

The U.S. Senator even created a political ad that mocked the same sentiment, to which Beto responded with this throwback picture confirming just how far back the nickname dated.

"Beto" is can also a nickname derived from Spanish names like Roberto or Alberto.
