Worth a look Unusual reporting

Values Sports Memorabilia (estimate) at $30,000

Collectibles 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 1% 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.”2024 Form 6 instructions, Assets — How to Value ✓ quoted from the saved instructions · how this rule works

Context 3

Context Unusual reporting

Lists Coin Collection (estimate) separately from the $77,500 household-goods total

Personal vehicles, jewelry, art and furnishings can be reported in the household-goods lump sum or itemized. Net worth doesn't appear to count them twice.

What to check
  • No action needed unless the lump sum also includes these items.

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.”2024 Form 6 instructions, Assets ✓ quoted from the saved instructions · how this rule works

Context Unusual reporting

Net worth $4,167,362; listed items add up to $4,244,862

Reported net worth: $4,167,362. Household goods + listed assets − listed liabilities = $4,244,862. They roughly agree.

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.”2024 Form 6 instructions, Net Worth ✓ quoted from the saved instructions · how this rule works

Context Wealth & holdings

Reports a net worth of $4,167,362 — 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”2024 Form 6 instructions, Net Worth ✓ quoted from the saved instructions · how this rule works
