Strom died a while back. However, for the past several years leading up to his death, he played the role of a dead man.

It's called Estate Planning. You gotta admit if you're that old death isn't going to be a surprise, and he had good access to the dudes that wrote the laws about avoiding estate taxes.
In fifty years Strom will be viewed in a different light. Without LBJ's power over the senate the civil rights act of 1964 would have been really watered down. Abe's assassination caused reconstruction to go down the toilet. Major faults can be found in any of these three men.
That said, Strom was as sly as a fox, a genuine political animal. Just as the other two i noted were and NO Strom is not in their class. If any of us could hide our real assets from the Feds, who among us would not.

As a nation we have yet to come to terms with ours. I doubt we ever will. I will be long dead
and the repercussions of slavery will linger. We all pay a price for history, even our personal
history.

Senators don't make very much, when you consider they have to keep two residences, and pay a large staff.
Guess what! I just heard on the radio news that a lady is claiming to be the mixed daughter of Strom Thurmond. He privately recognised her as his daughter and has been supporting her.
Here's the story: Illegitimate daughter. Dang! She's old!
I wonder what his net worth will be when she's done. . . . Hehehe!

He could have put everything he had in a trust that wouldn't show up as personal net worth. You can believe he had much more than $200,000.
You can bury a lot of your assets inside various accounts, non-taxable posessions, and some other stuff, I believe. that conceals your net worth quite a bit. under certain circumstances, its tax fraud. under others (theres a legal way to go about it, too), its just a sound financial plan.
He gave most of his money away over the years. He also lived in a hospital the last several years of his life. I doubt he had that much more hidden away. He also had an ex wife and children.
