Ted Cruz's Net Worth: $5.8M, Line by Line
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) filed a 2025 financial disclosure listing $9.4M in assets across 46 line items and $3.6M in liabilities. That is a net-worth midpoint of $5.8M (range -$1.7M to $13.3M). Congress reports brackets, not balances, and never counts the house. We show the money; you draw the conclusions.
49% of the disclosed portfolio sits in one category: mutual funds. The shape of a portfolio says more than its size.
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 Sen. Ted Cruz's and put the filing itself behind every number on this page.
How Much Is Ted Cruz Worth?
Taking the midpoint of every disclosed bracket, the 2025 filing shows $9.4M in assets against $3.6M in liabilities — a net-worth midpoint of $5.8M (range -$1.7M to $13.3M). Because the form reports ranges, the honest way to read it is the range: somewhere between -$1.7M and $13.3M, excluding real estate.
That ranks #120 of 450 members with a filed disclosure, richer than 73% of Congress, 4.0× the median member, and 33× 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.
