Tillerson was at Exxon Mobil for 40-plus years, starting out as as a production engineer before gradually moving up the company’s corporate ladder. A series of promotions, leading to him becoming the leader of the company, also resulted in Tillerson being one of the largest independent shareholders of XOM stock.

Exxon, being the largest oil company in the world based on market cap, reflects positively on Tillerson’s net worth. And by leaving the company, he has received an additional $180.0-million severance package.

#4. Rex Tillerson Political Career

Tillerson has always been linked to the Republican Party, being a donor to various election campaigns. He has made donations to the campaigns of George W. Bush, Mitt Romney, and Jeb Bush. While he didn’t donate anything to President Donald Trump’s campaign, Tillerson did take Trump up on his offer to become Secretary of State.

The reason why Tillerson was even in the running was because of a recommendation from former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. Three days later, former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates backed Rice’s recommendation.

Then, on January 20, 2017, Trump nominated Tillerson for the position of Secretary of State, which was approved by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. After that, the final approval was in the hands of the full Senate, which voted in favor of Tillerson. He was officially sworn in on February 1, 2017.

#5. Rex Tillerson Family

Rex Tillerson has been married twice. He divorced his first wife, with whom he had twin boys. Both sons ended up completing bachelor’s degrees from the University of Texas.

In 1986, Tillerson married Renda St. Clair. Like Tillerson, St.Clair was married before, and had one son with her previous husband. Together, Tillerson and St. Clair have four children and five grandchildren.

#6. Rex Tillerson Wife

Renda St. Clair and Rex Tillerson co-own Bar RR Ranches LLC in Bartonville, Texas. The company breeds and trains horses and black Angus cattle.

Bartonville is where St. Clair grew up, and is currently the couple’s current primary residence. Most of St. Clair’s time is spent on philanthropy work for causes close to her heart; her efforts are normally not made public, and she lives a very private life.

In 2012, the couple joined their neighbors in suing to stop the construction of a water tower that would be used for fracking (among other things) near the Tillerson residence. They argued that the project would violate the city’s zoning rights. Despite the couple’s involvement, the city would not budge. However, in 2014, despite a lot of pushback from residents, the judge presiding over the case threw out the claims. The Tillersons then removed themselves from the lawsuit.

Other than this instance, Renda St. Clair has mostly stayed out of the spotlight.
