The Filing Every Member Has to Make
Under the STOCK Act, every member of Congress files an annual Personal Financial Disclosure — a list of assets, debts and outside income, each in a value bracket — plus a periodic transaction report for every trade. We parsed Rep. Jay Obernolte's and put the filing itself behind every number on this page.
How Much Is Jay Obernolte Worth?
Taking the midpoint of every disclosed bracket, the 2024 filing shows $97.8M in assets against $3.0M in liabilities — a net-worth midpoint of $94.8M (range $40.2M to $149.4M). Because the form reports ranges, the honest way to read it is the range: somewhere between $40.2M and $149.4M, excluding real estate.
That ranks #13 of 450 members with a filed disclosure, richer than 97% of Congress, 65.7× the median member, and 545× the $174,000 congressional salary. Congressional pay has not changed since 2009, which is why the salary multiple is the number that travels: it is the gap between what the job pays and what the people doing it are worth.
