Jim Justice (Republican, WV (Senate)) is the wealthiest member of Congress on the 2025 disclosures at roughly $1.24B, between $820M and $1.66B.
538 filings parsed (32 transcribed from paper) · 329 with a midpoint over $1M · 41 below zero. Each figure is the midpoint of a range, so two members a few places apart may be in the opposite order in reality. How this is calculated.
- Who is the richest member of Congress?
- By the midpoint of the range in the 2025 financial disclosures processed so far, Jim Justice (Republican, WV (Senate)) is the wealthiest member of Congress at roughly $1.24B, between $820M and $1.66B. Next are Jefferson Shreve (~$732M), Rick Scott (~$612M), Darrell Issa (~$328M).
- How many members of Congress are millionaires?
- 329 of the 538 members whose 2025 disclosures have been parsed have an estimated net worth above $1 million at the midpoint of their reported range; 209 come in below it, and 41 have a midpoint below zero, usually because of mortgages or student loans against assets reported in low bands.
- How is net worth calculated from a financial disclosure?
- Every asset and liability on the filing is reported as a value band ($1,001–$15,000, $15,001–$50,000 … $5,000,001–$25,000,000), never an exact figure. Low end of net worth = the bottom of every asset band added together, minus the top of every liability band. High end = the top of every asset band, minus the bottom of every liability band. The estimate is the midpoint of that range. It is a central guess, not a measurement. The home rule: a member must report a mortgage on their own home but need not list the home unless it earns rent. When a filing lists no real property at all, its mortgages and home-equity loans are shown but not subtracted, since the home they are secured by is not counted either. A filing that lists any property keeps all its debts. A spouse's or child's asset reported only as "over $1,000,000" is carried as $1,000,001–$5,000,000; an asset reported as "over $50,000,000" is carried at $50,000,000 for both ends. Both caps understate the richest filers.
- Why are some members missing?
- A member on an extension, or seated after the reporting year, has no annual report on file until it is filed. 32 members filed on paper; their figures were transcribed from the scanned filings and are labelled as such on their pages.
- What is the source?
- The annual personal financial disclosure each member files under the Ethics in Government Act, with the Clerk of the House (published as a PDF) or the Secretary of the Senate (published on the Senate's electronic disclosure site), read directly from the filing. Every member page links to the original.
