Net-worth figures are midpoints of the ranges officials report on public financial disclosures (sources include Ballotpedia, OpenSecrets, and state disclosure filings) and are estimates, not audited balance sheets. Ranges can be wide because disclosures use broad brackets. For context, the median American household has a net worth of roughly $190,000 (Federal Reserve, 2022 SCF).

Common questions

How is each governor’s net worth estimated?

Figures are the midpoint of the ranges officials report on public financial disclosure forms, cross-referenced with Ballotpedia and OpenSecrets. Because disclosures use broad value brackets (e.g. "$1M–$5M"), these are good-faith estimates rather than audited balance sheets.

Who is the richest governor in America?

By disclosed assets, Illinois governor JB Pritzker — an heir to the Hyatt hotel fortune — is by far the wealthiest, worth several billion dollars. Colorado’s Jared Polis, Virginia’s Glenn Youngkin, and Montana’s Greg Gianforte are also nine-figure-plus governors who made fortunes in business before politics.

What is the average American’s net worth?

According to the Federal Reserve’s 2022 Survey of Consumer Finances, the median US household net worth is about $190,000, while the average (skewed by the ultra-wealthy) is over $1 million. Net worth rises sharply with age, so a fairer comparison is against your own age group.
