50 richest congress people - from the folks at Roll Call

Roll Call calculates net worth based on the minimum assets and minimum liablities listed in each lawmaker's annual financial disclosure report. These reports exclude some assets including primary residences, however, and may not provide a full representation of a Member's financial portfolio. Click column headers to resort the chart; click Members' names to see descriptions of their assets; for top 10, click their net worth for PDF copies of their disclosure forms. See story for details.

Assets, liabilities, net worth and difference figures in millions of dollars.
