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.
