This list of members of the United States Congress by wealth includes the fifty richest members of Congress as of 2018. It displays the net worth (the difference between assets and liabilities) for the member and their immediate family, such as a spouse or dependent children. These figures offer only an estimation of wealth, as the Congressional financial disclosure rules use value ranges instead of exact amounts. As an upper range is not specified for values over $50 million (or over $1 million for a spouse), large assets are not represented accurately. Additionally, government salaries and personal residences are not typically included in disclosures. Furthermore, several members of Congress do not use a standardized electronic format, but instead file reports that range from vague to indecipherable. As of 2020, over half of the members of Congress were millionaires and the median net worth of members was approximately $1 million.
The original documents for each member's disclosure are publicly available on a database website, maintained by OpenSecrets.
Since 2009, the salaries per annum of members of the United States Congress have been as follows: Position Salary Speaker of the House of Representatives $223,500 Majority leader and minority leader of the House of Representatives $193,400 President pro tempore of the Senate $193,400 Senators and representatives $174,000 Non-voting members of the United States House of Representatives $174,000
