Context 5

Context Unusual reporting

Net worth $11,327,841; listed items add up to $22,444,409

Reported net worth: $11,327,841. Household goods + listed assets − listed liabilities = $22,444,409. 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.

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

Context Unusual reporting

Net worth rose from $7,085,584 (2024) to $11,327,841 (2025) — 1.6×

This 2025 filing reports $11,327,841; the same person's 2024 filing reported $7,085,584, a change of $4,242,257 in 1 year. Listed income for 2025 was $548,275. Inheritances, home values and markets can move net worth a lot, so compare what's listed in each year to see where the change shows up.

What to check
  • Compare the assets listed in each filing: which items are new or much larger?
  • Does listed income explain the change?
