Boebert’s Financial Disclosure: No Assets, Royalties Reported
Updated June 18, 2025
Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., reported no assets, book royalties, bank accounts, or home mortgage in her 2025 financial disclosure.This follows a year of significant personal changes, including a divorce and a move to Colorado’s 4th Congressional district.
Caitlyn Kim of Colorado public Radio noted the unusual nature of a wholly blank financial disclosure from a member of Congress. Boebert’s previous filings included income from her book, “My american Life,” and a joint bank account, assets now absent from the report.
Federal ethics rules mandate that lawmakers disclose assets exceeding $1,000 and outside income over $200. The absence of reported royalties raises questions about Boebert’s current income streams,especially as her financial role shifts.
Members of Congress earn $174,000 annually. While this income must be disclosed, Boebert’s filing provides no further details on additional income or holdings.
Legal experts suggest that the lack of personal assets, while uncommon, isn’t necessarily a violation, particularly after a divorce. Though, the limited transparency could invite increased scrutiny, given Boebert’s high profile.
Bryan Metzger, a Business Insider reporter, commented on X that Boebert is highly likely among the poorest members of Congress, considering her salary and the lack of disclosed assets.
With the caveat that she makes $174,000 per year and doesn’t have to disclose the value of any personal residence, Boebert is likely one of the poorest members of congress.
Jake Sherman noted that Boebert’s previous financial disclosures listed all assets as belonging to her former spouse.
She is recently divorced. in her last [financial disclosure]her assets were all listed as belonging to her spouse.
Investigative reporter Andrew Kerr expressed surprise at Boebert’s reported net worth, given her congressional salary.
Blows my mind how poorly some members of Congress manage their own finances. Divorce notwithstanding, it’s wild to me that a 38 year old woman who makes $174,000/yr has a net worth of $0.
What’s next
Boebert’s office has been contacted for comment regarding the financial disclosure. Further analysis of her financial situation is anticipated as she continues to serve in Congress.
