Several Senators are millionaires in their own right and owners of significant properties, and besides receiving a monthly salary of some RD$280,000 they also have other economic incomes, according to Diario Libre. The biggest fortunes belong to re-elected representative of the province of Sanchez Ramirez, industrialist Felix Maria Vasquez, whose sworn declaration of assets said that he had RD$124,690,100. As of last August, the Reformist senator had 15,076 'tareas' of land and a villa in Playa Bonita, Las Terrenas, 625 'tareas' in Macagua, Cotui, and 1,460 'tareas' in Mao. At the same time he reported shares in the Felix Vasquez Rice Mill, in Juanago CxA and Villa Caney CxA, cash and a financial certificate in the Banco de Reservas, a herd of sheep and a Lexus SUV. Another senator with a large fortune is the representative of La Altagracia and the former secretary general of the Dominican Municipal League (LMD) for nearly 12 years, Amable Aristy Castro, who possesses assets amounting to RD$91,734,500 of which RD$82,889,500 are a credit pending payment from the Amable Aristy Castro S.A company.
In the meantime, in just four years the assets of the president of the Senate, Reinaldo Pared Perez, went from RD$48,456,065 and US$44,250 in 2006 to some RD$59,527,911 and US$22,421.8 in 2010. Some have arrived in the Senate with vast fortunes, as in the case of the former consul in Haiti, Carlos Castillo, who has RD$64,814,003. More modest fortunes were declared by the re-elected vice president of the Senate, Cristina Lizardo, with RD$11,800,000 and the former president of the Chamber of Deputies, Julio Cesar Valentin, with RD$15,433,000.
