Janelle Bynum Net Worth (2025 Financial Disclosure)

Democrat · OR-05 · House

Net worth, as disclosed

$569K to $7.6M

Midpoint $4.1M, used for rankings

Assets ~$5.2M · Debts ~$1.1M · Net ~$4.1M

Janelle Bynum's net worth is between $569K and $7.6M, a midpoint of $4.1M, according to the 2025 annual financial disclosure, filed August 13, 2026, the most recent personal financial disclosure on file with the House Clerk.

The filing lists 98 assets valued at $2.1M to $8.3M and 3 liabilities of $700K to $1.5M. A mortgage of $250K to $500K is shown but not subtracted: the filing lists no real property, so the loan must be on a home the law does not require the filer to list, and a debt is not counted against a home that is not counted either. 1 asset reported only as "over $1,000,000" or "over $50,000,000" is carried at a standard cap, so the true top end may be higher.

How this figure is calculated, and what it leaves out

  • 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.

The disclosure does not have to include:

  • A personal residence that produces no rental income (listing it is optional).
  • Personal property such as cars, furniture, art and jewelry.
  • Federal salary ($174,000 for most members) and federal retirement benefits.
  • Assets worth $1,000 or less, and income under $200 per source.
  • Liabilities under $10,000, and some vehicle, family and tax debts.
  • Anything inside a qualified blind trust approved by the Ethics Committee.

Frequently asked

What is Janelle Bynum's net worth?

Janelle Bynum's net worth is between $569K and $7.6M, a midpoint of $4.1M, according to the 2025 annual financial disclosure, filed August 13, 2026, the most recent personal financial disclosure on file with the House Clerk. The filing lists 98 assets valued at $2.1M to $8.3M and 3 liabilities of $700K to $1.5M. A mortgage of $250K to $500K is shown but not subtracted: the filing lists no real property, so the loan must be on a home the law does not require the filer to list, and a debt is not counted against a home that is not counted either. 1 asset reported only as "over $1,000,000" or "over $50,000,000" is carried at a standard cap, so the true top end may be higher.

What are Janelle Bynum's biggest assets?

The largest holdings on the 2025 filing are Ivory Coast Management LLC (Over $1M (spouse or child), spouse); Ivory Coast Management ⇒ Charles Schwab - Brokerage ⇒ JPMorgan Ultra-Short Income ETF (JPST) ($250K–$500K, spouse); Charles Schwab Brokerage ⇒ Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF (VTI) ($100K–$250K, joint). The filing lists 98 assets in all.

How much debt does Janelle Bynum report?

4 liabilities: Renovation JC with Old National Bank (f/k/a Bremer Bank) ($500K–$1M); Primary Residence Mortgage with Wells Fargo ($250K–$500K, not subtracted); Renovation Portland with Old National Bank (f/k/a Bremer Bank) ($100K–$250K). $700K to $1.5M of this is subtracted from the assets. A mortgage of $250K to $500K is shown but not subtracted: the filing lists no real property, so the loan must be on a home the law does not require the filer to list, and a debt is not counted against a home that is not counted either. Only debts over $10,000 must be disclosed.

Is Janelle Bynum one of the richest members of Congress?

By the midpoint of the disclosed range, Janelle Bynum ranks #144 of 438 House members whose filings have been processed, and #80 of 262 Democrats. Ranks compare midpoints of wide ranges, so a member a few places away may well be wealthier.

Why do other sites show a different net worth for Janelle Bynum?

The $4.1M shown here is the midpoint of the range Janelle Bynum's 2025 filing supports, as of December 31, 2025. It subtracts $700K to $1.5M in reported debts; the assets alone have a midpoint of about $5.2M, which is nearer to what estimates that leave debts out will show. A mortgage of $250K to $500K is shown but not subtracted: the filing lists no real property, so the loan must be on a home the law does not require the filer to list, and a debt is not counted against a home that is not counted either. 1 asset reported only as "over $1,000,000" or "over $50,000,000" is counted at a standard cap, which understates the top. Sites that price stocks at current market value, add an estimate for a home or personal property the filing need not list, or quote the top of the range will come out differently.

Why is Janelle Bynum's net worth a range and not a number?

Members of Congress report each asset and debt in a value band, not an exact amount, and a few bands have no top ("over $50,000,000"). Adding the bottoms gives the lowest net worth the filing supports and adding the tops gives the highest; the true figure is somewhere between. The midpoint shown is an estimate for comparison, not a measurement.

What does Janelle Bynum's financial disclosure leave out?

By law the report need not include a personal residence that produces no rental income (listing it is optional); personal property such as cars, furniture, art and jewelry; federal salary ($174,000 for most members) and federal retirement benefits; assets worth $1,000 or less, and income under $200 per source; liabilities under $10,000, and some vehicle, family and tax debts; anything inside a qualified blind trust approved by the Ethics Committee.

Where does this net worth figure come from?

From Janelle Bynum's own 2025 annual financial disclosure, filed August 13, 2026, published as a PDF by the Clerk of the House of Representatives under the Ethics in Government Act. Who Funds My Rep? reads Schedule A (assets and income) and Schedule D (liabilities) from the filing and applies the same range arithmetic used by newsrooms. The original filing is linked on this page.

Why other sites show different figures

The $4.1M shown here is the midpoint of the range Janelle Bynum's 2025 filing supports, as of December 31, 2025. It subtracts $700K to $1.5M in reported debts; the assets alone have a midpoint of about $5.2M, which is nearer to what estimates that leave debts out will show. A mortgage of $250K to $500K is shown but not subtracted: the filing lists no real property, so the loan must be on a home the law does not require the filer to list, and a debt is not counted against a home that is not counted either. 1 asset reported only as "over $1,000,000" or "over $50,000,000" is counted at a standard cap, which understates the top. Sites that price stocks at current market value, add an estimate for a home or personal property the filing need not list, or quote the top of the range will come out differently.

  • Debts are subtracted. We subtract the liabilities on the filing, margin loans and mortgages on listed property included. Estimates that leave debts out, Quiver Quantitative's for one, come out higher, sometimes by tens of millions of dollars. The one debt we do not subtract is a mortgage on a home the filing does not list (the home rule), because the home itself is not counted.
  • Value bands, not market prices. The filing reports each asset as a value band ($5,000,001–$25,000,000), never a price, and we use the midpoint of the resulting range. Trackers that estimate current market value from stock trades and share prices will differ, most of all for members with large stock holdings near the top of their bands.
  • The date. Our figure is as of December 31 of the reporting year, the date the filing describes. Sites that move with the markets reflect any gains or losses since then.
  • What the filing leaves out. A home that earns no rent, cars, art and other personal property need not be listed. Some outlets add their own estimates for these; we count only what is on the filing.
  • Open-ended bands and older data. Spouse assets reported only as "over $1,000,000" and assets "over $50,000,000" have no top, so every method has to pick a value for them. Older databases (OpenSecrets' member profiles still show 2018 figures) and news reports that quote the top of a range will disagree as well.
