1. Darrell Issa

$283.3 million minimum net worth

Issa (R-Vista) remained the wealthiest man in the California delegation. He earned his fortune through a car alarm business and was known as the voice of the Viper.

His wealth decreased by nearly $40 million, mostly due to a $25 million increase in liability from a new UBS credit line and a $13.7 million decrease in his assets. His total liabilities were more than $100 million, and the bulk of his money was in investments.

While Issa's investment funds worth $50 million and $25 million remained the same, he no longer listed three $5 million investment funds that were part of his 2016 assets. Issa also reported owning 11 properties worth $22 million in total. Several of those were rental properties.

About this data: These are the assets disclosed for calendar years 2014-2016 compiled by Roll Call. They are ranked from largest to smallest. Financial disclosure rules allow lawmakers to report broad ranges of minimums for both assets and liabilities, starting at $1 to $1,000 and topping out at $50 million or higher, so it is impossible to offer precise figures. The minimum values shown are how Roll Call calculated the net worth for each member.

Roll Call assigns assets and liabilities into several categories. The disclosure forms indicate if the asset or liability is owned solely by the member, by the member’s spouse, by the member’s dependent(s) or jointly owned by the member and spouse. The names of the assets and liabilities appear as they were entered on the forms filed with the clerk of the House and the Senate Select Committee on Ethics.
