Newly released financial disclosures show substantial assets among members of the Trump administration

by David Choi and Madeleine Sheehan Perkins on Apr 1, 2017, 1:53 AM

The White House released a broad set of financial disclosures that showed the assets for as many as 180 senior officials on Friday evening.

The information outlines the sizable wealth of many members of the Trump administration which closes in on a cumulative $12 billion, according to a December Bloomberg report.

Officials including White House chief strategist Steve Bannon, and advisers Jared Kushner and Reince Priebus listed assets they held at the time they began working for the government, a little more than two months ago. Since then, staffers may have divested from some of those assets, resigned from prior jobs, or recused themselves from holdings that may potentially create conflicts of interest.

Here's a look at what the Trump administration's financial disclosures show, based on data gathered at the time they entered public service.

Steve Bannon

Steve Bannon, the White House chief strategist and perhaps its most controversial figure, appeared to be among the wealthiest in the Trump administration.

According to The New York Times, Bannon's biggest asset is a private consulting business that received income from multiple investments valued between $5 million and $25 million.

Bannon's disclosures also list:

  • Bank accounts valued up to $2.25 million
  • Rental properties valued at $10.5 million
  • $191,000 in consulting fees he earned from the Breitbart News Network

Reince Priebus

Reince Priebus, the White House's chief of staff, reportedly earned $225,000 in salary and $100,000 in bonuses from the Republican National Committee in 2016.

On top of this salary, a significant portion of his earnings came about after a $450,000 equity buyout from his law firm. 

Priebus' disclosures also listed:

  • Assets between $604,000 and $1.16 million.
  • Two bank accounts worth between $300,000 and $600,000. 
  • RNC payment for his rent in Washington amounting to a little over $57,000.

Jared Kushner

Jared Kushner, Trump's innovations director and son-in-law, lists two main sources of income in his financial disclosure.

According to the documents, Kushner held:

  • Nearly $6 million in employment assets and income and retirement accounts
  • A long list of nationwide commercial real estate holdings, including in Chicago, New York, and New Jersey.
  • 13 US bank accounts, the most valuable of which totaling between $1 million and $5 million. 

Kushner's disclosure also notes that he revised his holdings four times within the last two weeks — the most recent change being made on Friday, ostensibly due to his expanding role in the White House.

Tiger Woods won't play in the Masters

Tiger Woods won't play in the Masters for the third time in the last four years because he says he is not tournament ready.

Woods announced Friday night on his website that he did everything possible to try to play. He says his back rehabilitation simply didn't allow him enough time.

He said there was no timetable for his return.

Woods withdrew from the Dubai Desert Classic in early February after shooting a 77, claiming back spasms. Since then, he has sat out his own tournament at Riviera, the Honda Classic and the Arnold Palmer Invitational. He even withdrew from a press conference in Los Angeles.

This is the 20-year anniversary of Woods winning his first Masters by a record 12 shots. He last won the Masters in 2005.
