Sources & Methodology Hub
Worthle aggregates public financial disclosure filings and quantitative models required by federal, state, and international ethics laws.
U.S. Congress & Quiver Quantitative
• Quiver Quantitative Disclosures: Primary net worth figures for sitting members of Congress are powered by Quiver Quantitative's financial disclosure dataset, which algorithmically aggregates personal financial disclosure (PFD) filings, STOCK Act transaction reports, and portfolio asset valuations across 490+ lawmakers.
• Official Congressional Filings: Raw statutory disclosures sourced directly from the U.S. House Office of the Clerk (disclosures-clerk.house.gov) and the U.S. Senate eFD System (efdsearch.senate.gov).
• Senior Lawmakers & Complex Portfolios: Lawmakers with multi-generational trusts or complex asset structures (e.g., Blumenthal, Durbin, Matsui) are cross-referenced with research from OpenSecrets (opensecrets.org).
• Federal Election Commission (FEC): Presidential and congressional candidate filings submitted on FEC Form 2 and candidate financial statements (fec.gov).
• U.S. Office of Government Ethics (OGE): Executive branch filings on OGE Form 278e (oge.gov) covering cabinet secretaries, vice presidents, and senior administration officials.
• Audited Wealth Appraisals: High-profile candidates, governors, and executives with private equity or commercial real estate empires are corroborated against vetted investigative financial benchmarks from Forbes, Bloomberg Wealth, and state ethics registries.
International Parliaments (UK & Canada)
• United Kingdom: Members of Parliament disclosures from the House of Commons Register of Members' Financial Interests, Electoral Commission political donation records, and the Sunday Times Rich List.
• Canada: Public ethics and compliance declarations registered with the Office of the Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner (CIEC) (ciec-ccie.parl.gc.ca).
Valuation Methodology & Benchmarks
Federal and parliamentary disclosure laws require officials to report assets, securities, and liabilities in ranges (e.g. $1,000,001–$5,000,000). Worthle calculates valuations using standard midpoints across disclosed asset categories minus liabilities, supplemented by transaction monitoring, municipal property records, and verified equity prices.
Proximity and wealth multiplier stats are benchmarked against the Federal Reserve Board Survey of Consumer Finances median American household net worth of $192,900.
