John Edwards (pictured) made millions as a former medical malpractice trial lawyer before becoming a U.S. Senator from North Carolina.
Democrat presidential candidate Edwards has made an anti-poverty message the theme of his 2008 campaign.
In December, Edwards chose the modest backyard of a New Orleans woman who had lost her home to Hurricane Katrina as the image that best underscored his campaign theme.
Edwards frequently mentions "two Americas" — one for the wealthy and one for the poor.
The new Edwards $4.3 million has critics pointing out which America Edwards lives in.
A lot of rich people live in four million dollar homes but they aren’t running for president on an anti-poverty platform.
