Paul Atkins, President Donald Trump’s nominee to chair the Securities and Exchange Commission, is a financial omnivore. He has equity in Chinese tech giant Alibaba, holdings in crypto companies, and stakes in venture capital firms. And he also owns a bulging portfolio of life insurance policies: 54 to be exact, which he holds with his wife and family.
That’s according to a recent ethics disclosure, which must be completed by agency heads (Atkins will likely be confirmed as SEC chair this week), members of Congress, and other high-level officials.
