It's no secret that members of Congress are much more wealthy than the rest of the country. 

The average net worth of a Senator is more than $14 million, and the average net worth of a member of the House of Representatives is nearly $6 million.

Thanks to analysis from The Hill, we've put together the richest of the rich, looking at the top 15 members of Congress and how they're worth.

We also look at how they made the money and — most of all — where they keep it.

We count them down from No. 15 to No. 1. All facts and figures come from The Hill's analysis.

#15: Rep. Rick Berg (R-ND) is worth $23.8 million.

Berg owns lots of North Dakota farmland, where most of his money comes from, and also owns hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of cattle. 

#14: Rep. Diane Black (R-Tenn.) is worth $24.8 million.

Black — a former nurse — is married to Dr. David Black, whose investments have been performing particularly well. The couple also owns lots of real estate. 

#13: Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is worth $26.4 million.

Pelosi's husband, Paul, is an investor. He holds a stake in the United Football League and has investments in a wide array of companies.
