US President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama jointly held assets last year worth an estimated $1.9 million to $6.9 million, according to required federal financial disclosure reports. The range of the Obamas’ net worth is little changed from 2013, when the assets were estimated between $1.95 million and $7.15 million.
Below you can explore net worth estimates for every of member of the US Congress (Senate and House), Executives, and Justices since 2004. Select the person from the list at the top or start to type his/her name to find a person of interest easier (since the list includes more than 1,000 politicians!).
Note: U.S. Federal law requires the president, senior administration officials and members of Congress to report their financial holdings annually. However, required disclosure forms allow public officials to report the value of their assets in broad ranges. That makes it difficult to determine a precise net worth. To calculate it, the Center of Responsive Politics (CRP) adds together the lawmaker's range of assets and then subtracts their range of liabilities. Then the midpoint of the resulting range is used to rank the filers. When further research definitively revealed a more accurate figure, it was used in place of the range.
