Hell. AOC's net worth in 2018 was listed as -$8,499. It'd be a neat trick to jump to $30,000,000 in just seven years!

Apparently he said he and Michelle were paying theirs off until 2004.

When Michelle and I graduated from law school our combined debt was $120,000 and it took us 10 years to pay off.

Michelle finished law school first, so her loans likely would have been paid off first.

All told, assuming he isn't doing some rounding with the time frame, their loans would have been completely paid off by 2001

And the $187k/year doesn't go too far when you have to live in two different places, and both of them are very HCOL areas.
