Just like McCain most of McConnells money isn't his. His wife Elaine Choa's mother died in 2007 and she inherited quite a large sum of money. Her father started a large shipping company in the 60s or so that went on to create massive profits. Trump assigned Elaine to the Secretary of Transportation spot. Before that she was labor secretary under Bush.
The Choa family enterprise has it's own level of corruption, at least optically, as they're based in NYC but don't have a single ship flagged as a US ship. In fact most, if not all, of their ships are flagged in the shadowy shipping realm of The Marshall Islands.
One of the jobs a Secretary of Transportation would have is to entice company's to fly the US flag if they're based in the US which her parents company, of which she's profited handily from, doesn't even do.

When they're low level politicians, they're bribes. But when they get to Congress, it's just lobbying
