Context 3

Context Unusual reporting

Net worth $3,134,631; listed items add up to $80,000

Reported net worth: $3,134,631. Household goods + listed assets − listed liabilities = $80,000. A difference is normal: net worth also counts assets and debts that aren't listed individually (items under $1,000, credit cards, taxes), and the instructions say subtracting listed liabilities from listed assets won't give an accurate figure in most cases. 2 listed item(s) have no amount, so the comparison is incomplete.

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

Context Missing or incomplete

Assets and debts itemized in an attachment on page 5

The form says “see attached” for 2 entries, and this copy includes the attachment (page 5).

What to check
  • Open the attachment page to see the individual holdings behind each total.

Context Wealth & holdings

Reports a net worth of $3,134,631 — 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.
