Values 210 Domain Names registered with Godaddy.com at $150,000 — about $714 each

Domain names rarely have an established market price, and the form doesn't say how this value was reached. Assets must be reported at fair market value; this one is 9% of reported net worth.

What to check
  • Is there evidence of sales or appraisals at this value?
  • Would the net worth look different without it?

Rule: Hard-to-value asset
“Value each asset by its fair market value on the date used in the Net Worth section of this form.”2025 Form 6 instructions, Assets — How to Value ✓ quoted from the saved instructions · how this rule works

Worth a look Income & business ties

No major clients listed for American Dream Investment Realty, INC, which paid them $380,000

Owners of more than 5% of a business who received more than $1,000 from it must list the business's customers or clients that provided more than 10% of its gross income. The secondary income section is empty or N/A. That's correct only if no single customer exceeded 10% — the form doesn't say.

What to check
  • For a small or one-person business, it is unusual for no client to exceed 10% of revenue.
  • Check the business's public contracts or listings for major clients.

Rule: Business owner with no major clients listed
“If your ownership and gross income exceeded the two thresholds listed above, then for that business entity you must list every source of income to the business entity which exceeded 10% of the business entity's gross income”2025 Form 6 instructions, Income — Secondary Sources ✓ quoted from the saved instructions · how this rule works

Context 7

Context Unusual reporting

Itemizes the $185,000 household-goods total

The household-goods lump sum ($185,000) is also broken down in the asset list (Art, Jewelry, Computers Electronics, Furniture, Clothing Wearables), and the items add up exactly to it — a breakdown, which is how many filers do it. Net worth doesn't appear to count them twice.

What to check
  • No action needed.

Rule: Household items listed twice
“Describe, and state the value of, each asset you had on the reporting date you selected for your net worth, if the asset was worth more than $1,000 and if you have not already included that asset in the aggregate value of your household goods and personal effects.”2025 Form 6 instructions, Assets ✓ quoted from the saved instructions · how this rule works

Context Unusual reporting

All 7 asset values are round numbers

Every listed asset is valued in round thousands, which suggests estimates rather than statements or appraisals. That's allowed, but it makes the totals less precise.

What to check
  • Are bank or brokerage balances (which are exact) rounded too?

Rule: All values are round numbers

How this rule works

Context Unusual reporting

Net worth $1,625,669; listed items add up to $1,578,669

Reported net worth: $1,625,669. Household goods + listed assets − listed liabilities = $1,578,669 (after removing the items counted twice). They roughly agree. 1 listed item(s) have no amount, so the comparison is incomplete.

What to check
  • No action needed unless other items look off.

Rule: Net worth vs. listed items
“Simply subtracting your liabilities from your assets will not result in an accurate net worth figure in most cases.”2025 Form 6 instructions, Net Worth ✓ quoted from the saved instructions · how this rule works

Context Income & business ties

85% of listed income ($380,000) comes from American Dream Investment Realty, INC

Listed income totals $445,000 from 3 sources. The largest is classed as investments & retirement.

What to check
  • Who is this source, and does it have business before the office sought?
  • If the filer owns it, check the business section and secondary income.

Rule: Where the money comes from

Context Wealth & holdings

Reports a net worth of $1,625,669 — a millionaire on paper

Net worth is the filer's own figure. Being wealthy isn't a problem; it's context for comparing candidates and for reading the rest of the form.

What to check
  • Compare with the other candidates in the race.
  • Check that the large assets below are described and valued clearly.

Rule: Net worth tier
“Report your net worth as of”2025 Form 6 instructions, Net Worth ✓ quoted from the saved instructions · how this rule works

Context Wealth & holdings

Real estate worth $1,600,000 (98% of net worth)

Real estate holdings, as listed.

What to check
  • Look the parcels up with the county property appraiser: land use (vacant or improved), assessed value and when they were bought.
  • Check whether any listed liability is a mortgage on these properties.

Rule: Real estate holdings
“Real property: Identify by providing the street address of the property.”2025 Form 6 instructions, Assets ✓ quoted from the saved instructions · how this rule works

Context Wealth & holdings

Lists 2 businesses under “Interests in Specified Businesses” and owns more than 5% of all of them

Listed under “Interests in Specified Businesses”: American Dream Investment Realty, INC, Golden Bridge Mortgage Corp.. That section covers banks, insurers, mortgage and small-loan companies, utilities, alcohol licensees, pari-mutuels and holders of city or county franchises — industries where officials' interests are disclosed separately.

What to check
  • Check whether the office sought oversees or contracts with these industries.
  • Look the businesses up on Sunbiz for officers and registered agents.
