File A — Net Worth
Net worth over time
Estimated from financial disclosures. The band shows the disclosed range; the line is the midpoint estimate.
Why negative? Financial disclosures require officials to report mortgages and loans as liabilities, but exclude personal residences and other non-income-producing assets. Someone whose main asset is their home can show a negative disclosednet worth in some years — it doesn’t necessarily mean they’re in debt. See methodology.
midpoint disclosed range govt salary
