Context 4

Context Unusual reporting

Net worth $927,830; listed items add up to $951,417

Reported net worth: $927,830. Household goods + listed assets − listed liabilities = $951,417. They roughly agree. 1 listed item(s) have no amount, so the comparison is incomplete.

Context Income & business ties

96% of listed income ($197,360) comes from State of Florida

Listed income totals $206,268 from 2 sources. The largest is classed as government & public payroll.

Real estate holdings, as listed.
