Next time, when you think NutriSystem, think Johnny Isakson

Roll Call newspaper, which covers Capitol Hill, has put U.S. Sen. Johnny Isakson of Marietta and U.S. Tom Price of Roswell among the 50 richest members of Congress.

In its annual examination of wealth, Roll Call ranked Isakson at No. 30, and Price at No. 37.

Isakson is worth at least $8.07 million, the newspaper’s analysis indicated, and has increased his net worth a healthy 6 percent in the last year.

“The Senator owns more than $1 million worth of stock each in both Georgia-based Synovus Bank and Charlotte, N.C.-based Wachovia,” according to the report. “Shares of trendy clothier Urban Outfitters, Starbucks and NutriSystem round out Isakson’s portfolio. He also owns tens of thousands of dollars in U.S. Treasury bond funds, a timeshare in Hilton Head, S.C., and a partial interest in 54 acres of undeveloped land in suburban Atlanta.”

Price, apparently the poor man’s rich man, clocked in with only $6.09 million.

Said the newspaper: “Price, a surgeon, reported owning partial interests in three medical offices in Roswell, Ga., worth at least $450,000 combined. He also owns investment properties in Georgia and North Carolina worth at least $1.15 million; an annuity valued at $500,001 to $1 million; and more than $3 million in investment and retirement accounts.”
