Rod Blagojevich Net Worth

Milorad Blagojevichi/bl?'???.?v?t?/ (better known by the alias Rod R. Blagojevich (born December 10, 1956)) is a convicted felon and former American politician who served as the 40th Governor of Illinois from 2003 to 2009. A Democrat, Blagojevich was a State Representative before being elected to the United States House of Representatives representing parts of Chicago. He was elected governor in 2002, the first Democrat to win the office since Daniel Walker's victory 30 years earlier.
On December 9, 2008, Blagojevich was arrested on federal corruption charges including conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud and solicitation of bribery. As a result, on January 9, 2009, the Illinois House of Representatives voted by a 114-1 vote to impeach Blagojevich for corruption and misconduct in office, the first time such an action has been taken against a governor of Illinois, making him the second state official in Illinois history to be impeached. The Illinois State Senate unanimously found him guilty of the charges of impeachment, and he was removed from office on January 29, 2009. In a separate and also unanimous vote, Blagojevich was banned for life from holding public office in the State of Illinois. On August 17, 2010, Blagojevich was found guilty of lying to the FBI; on June 27, 2011, Blagojevich was found guilty on 17 of 20 counts presented during his retrial. On Thursday, September 29, 2011, it was announced that in mid-August, administrators for the Illinois Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission asked the Illinois Supreme Court to suspend the former attorney's law license, in a likely prelude to the further disgrace of disbarment (which is usually automatic upon a felony conviction). On December 7, 2011, Blagojevich was sentenced to 14 years in federal prison by U.S. District Court Judge James Block Zagel; he must serve at least 85 percent, or more than 11 1/2 years, before he can be released on the federal version of parole, supervised release.
