Worth a lookUnusual reporting
Net worth looks like a misplaced decimal point: $233,000,000 reported, listed items add up to $220,634
Reported net worth: $233,000,000. Household goods + listed assets − listed liabilities = $220,634 (after removing the items counted twice). The reported figure is almost exactly 1,000 times the $220,634 the listed items add up to, which suggests a misplaced decimal point (or digits run together) when it was entered. The listed items are what this filing actually documents.
What to check
Compare with the filer's other filings for their usual net worth.

Itemizes the $10,000 household-goods total

What to check
No action needed.
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.”2023 Form 6 instructions, Assets ✓ quoted from the saved instructions · how this rule works
