Wealth in office
515 members have at least two machine-readable annual disclosures in their current stretch in office. For 48 of them, the latest disclosed net worth (range midpoints) is above what their first one would have grown to in the S&P 500, plus every salary dollar since. These are the 12 largest gaps.
Disclosed net worth against what salary and the market explain
disclosed net worth (midpoint) range of the disclosure first midpoint grown at the S&P 500's total return, plus salary
The largest gap: Pete Ricketts, about $31M more in 2025 than salary and the market explain from 2023.
Ranges are wide: a disclosure says "$1,000,001–$5,000,000", not a number, so the line is a midpoint and the shaded band is the full range. Filings don't say where growth came from; an inheritance, a marriage or a spouse's business can explain it, and a sourced explanation lowers the score. Wealth from before this stretch in office isn't scored. The vertical scale is logarithmic (each gridline is ten times the one below).
