Hard to tell, better question is how many are qualified, both by expertise and temperament?

3 or 4, maybe? All are dirtbags.

He had been a senator and had served in committees related to his current duties.

Still is stupid. Still is a complete asshole, Still is a bootlicker with no shame.

But he comes closest to being qualified --

True expertise in finance & economics is rooted is dispassionate, not ideology & a wish for how things should work in a fantasy world.
He's an ideologue & incapable of open-mindedness.

He has zero experience in economics which should be a necessity for Treasury Secretary. He is also a candidate for dumbest cabinet member. He is truly a moron who appears to understand nothing about anything.

Mal-Qualified?
Anti-qualified?

They are not just bad at their jobs, they are destructive to the job's purpose. It goes beyond incompetence to sabotage. It is what our worst enemies would do to us, but could not without internal help.

As a nurse and a veteran, Kennedy and Hegseth horrify me the most, followed very closely by Linda McMahon.
