What is Jim Jordan’s net worth?
US Rep. for the 4th District in Ohio, Jim Jordan, has served in Congress since 2007. Being a US lawmaker is associated with wealth. How much is he worth?
Being a lawmaker in the US Congress is associated with being wealthy, especially when over half of them have a net worth over $1 million. However, like the nation at large there is much disparity in wealth distribution in the halls of Capitol Hill. According to lawmakers’ personal financial disclosures from 2019 combed over by Open Secrets, the top ten percent had three times more wealth than the bottom 90 percent.
While the annual salary of $174,000, which has been unchanged since 2009, for most US lawmakers might not seem like peanuts to most, the job requires extra expenses that most other workers don’t have to deal with. For one, members of Congress have to have residences in both Washington DC and in their home districts. Additionally, the cost of living in the nation’s capital is much higher than the national average.
What is Jim Jordan’s net worth?
Republican US Representative for the 4th District in Ohio, Jim Jordan, has served in Congress since 2007. Despite being a nine-term congressman, his net worth hasn’t varied much according his financial disclosures, although he did have a rather large income boost last year. That was thanks to royalties, between $100,001 and a million, from publishing his book ‘Do What You Said You Would Do: Fighting for Freedom in the Swamp’.
While the financial disclosures that lawmakers must file don’t give exact numbers for the value of assets nor income in most categories, Rep. Jordan and his spouse are worth in the range of just over $300,000 and roughly $1,500,000, once the latest book royalties are accounted for, according to the information provided. That doesn’t include their residence outside of Urbana, Ohio which isn’t listed.
