How GovGreed calculates congressional net worth
Members of Congress never report an exact net worth. On their annual Personal Financial Disclosure (PFD), they report each asset and each debt inside a value bracket — for example "$1,000,001 – $5,000,000." GovGreed parses every filing, takes the midpoint of each bracket, sums the asset midpoints, subtracts the liability midpoints, and uses the result as an estimated net worth. Because the brackets are wide, each estimate sits inside a range, which is why every row shows a low–high band beneath the headline number.
Two rules of the disclosure system shape the numbers:
- Personal residences are excluded as assets, and assets worth under $1,000 are not reported — so home equity is missing from every estimate.
- Because a home is excluded as an asset while its mortgage still counts as a debt, members whose main asset is their house can show a negative disclosed net worth that overstates real indebtedness. That figure reflects disclosed brackets, not confirmed insolvency.
Executive-branch officials, including President Trump and his cabinet, file a different form — the OGE Form 278 — with the U.S. Office of Government Ethics. GovGreed shows those as asset floors (marked with a "≥") because debts are not netted out, so they are a conservative "at least" figure and are not directly comparable to the congressional assets-minus-liabilities midpoints. Trading activity throughout comes from STOCK Act periodic transaction reports and OGE 278-T filings.
Frequently asked questions
Who is the richest member of Congress?
As of September 25, 2026, the wealthiest member of Congress on the leaderboard is Senator Jim Justice (R-WV), with a disclosed net worth of roughly $1.3 billion — ahead of Senator Rick Scott (R-FL) at about $513 million, Senator Pete Ricketts (R-NE) at about $271 million and Representative Darrell Issa (R-CA) at about $254 million. President Donald Trump ranks above all of them on an OGE asset floor of about $1.65 billion, though that figure is not directly comparable.
What is the average net worth of a member of Congress?
Across the 453 members of Congress and 24 Trump cabinet officials ranked here, the median disclosed net worth is roughly $1.6 million — more than ten times a typical American household. 276 are millionaires and 33 are worth $50 million or more (as of 2026-09-25).
Why do some members of Congress show a negative net worth?
Disclosures exclude a member's personal residence as an asset but still count its mortgage as a debt. For members whose main asset is their home, that one-sided accounting can produce a negative disclosed net worth that overstates real indebtedness. It reflects disclosed brackets, not confirmed insolvency.
Where does the data come from?
Every figure comes from public federal disclosures — congressional Personal Financial Disclosures filed with the House Clerk and the Senate, and executive-branch OGE Form 278 filings filed with the U.S. Office of Government Ethics. Trading activity comes from STOCK Act filings. GovGreed parses these documents and links each person to their holdings, debts and trades.
