Jill Biden is always right by her husband’s side. Of course, she’s the wife of the President of The United States, but she’s always been a self-starter and tries to help out whenever she can as an educator. That’s why her net worth is impressive compared to many other First Ladies.
Dr. Jill Biden met Joe Biden after she was set up on a blind date by a friend, and it took some time before the two settled down. Both Jill and Joe were married before—Joe’s wife Nellia died in a car crash while Jill divorced her husband Bill Stevenson. Joe revealed he proposed five times before she finally accepted. “You have to remember I mean it wasn’t just my heart that was on the line, with Beau and Hunter, I knew that if we were gonna get married, it had to work, it had to be forever because they had already lost their mother and sister in a car accident and I knew that they couldn’t lose someone else in their life. So here we are, it is forever, it is 48 years later,” she told Meet Cutes NYC. The two married in 1977 and raised three children: her stepchildren Beau and Hunter, and their daughter Ashley.
