Former President of the United States[1]
Joe Biden served as the 46th President of the United States from January 20, 2021, to January 20, 2025, after serving as Vice President under Barack Obama from 2009 to 2017. Before that he represented Delaware in the U.S. Senate from 1973 to 2009.
What each year added up to: salary, plus outside income, royalties, endorsements, prizes and investment income where a source reports them. A financial disclosure gives ranges, shown as such.
Health, weight and religion appear only where the person, their physician or a reputable outlet has published them; each links to its source.
One octagon for each phase of the life of Joe Biden. Each of the eight axes is scored 0 to 5 against a written rubric from documented evidence, with its source; an axis without evidence is a gap, not a zero. There is no total and no ideal shape: it is a profile, not a ranking. Appearance and personality are not axes, because they cannot be scored from evidence.
No total and no ideal shape: a longer spoke means more of that axis, so a long Misconduct spoke is more documented misconduct.

Every phase side by side; a dash is an axis with no evidence in that phase. Pick one phase for its rubric, confidence and sources.
CBO estimated the Inflation Reduction Act would reduce deficits by about $238 billion over 2022-2031 (about $738 billion in revenue and savings against $499 billion in spending and tax breaks), with $101 billion of net revenue from IRS enforcement funding that carries estimating uncertainty and tax-credit costs that depend on uptake.
[9]CBO's August 2021 analysis of an illustrative $500 billion, 10-year increase in physical infrastructure spending (not specific to this law) found it would raise private-sector productivity; real GDP would average 0.04% higher over 2022-2051 if borrowing-financed, and the macroeconomic feedback would raise the net 30-year present-value cost of that spending by about one-fourth, versus cutting it by about one-third if offset by lower non-investment spending.
[11]CBO's score of the CHIPS and Science Act estimates it would increase deficits by $79 billion over 2022-2032 (before later baseline updates), a small share of projected 10-year federal deficits; CBO's score does not value the policy's economic benefits.
[13]CBO and JCT estimated the American Rescue Plan Act as passed by the Senate would increase deficits by $1.844 trillion over 2021-2031 ($1.798 trillion in direct spending and a $46 billion revenue loss), before added interest costs on the debt.
[15]Actions by courts, regulators and ethics bodies, each with where it stands. Reviewed October 10, 2026. Only documented official actions are counted: findings, penalties and settlements, and cases still open. A charge or an investigation is not a finding, cases that ended in the person's favour are listed as such, and it is not a judgment of character.
