Context 6

Context Unusual reporting

Net worth $7,012,370; listed items add up to $1,661,113

Reported net worth: $7,012,370. Household goods + listed assets − listed liabilities = $1,661,113. 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. 1 listed item(s) have no amount, so the comparison is incomplete.

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

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.

Real estate holdings, as listed.

  • Check whether any listed liability is a mortgage on these properties.
