Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s latest congressional financial disclosure puts her reportable assets at between $17,004 and $81,000, according to the filing described in the supplied report. The Democrat’s disclosure, covering calendar year 2025, was filed on August 6, 2026, and amended the following day.
The figures do not establish an exact personal net worth because House disclosures use broad financial ranges rather than precise account balances. They also do not capture every form of wealth, meaning the disclosed asset total should not be treated as a definitive measure of Ocasio-Cortez’s overall finances.
The House Clerk explains that these reports disclose the source, type and value of members’ reportable assets, income and liabilities under federal law.
What Ocasio-Cortez Reported in Her Latest Filing
The 2026 disclosure lists four reportable financial assets. They include an Allied Bank savings account worth $15,001 to $50,000, a Charles Schwab checking account valued at $1,001 to $15,000, a Charles Schwab brokerage account worth $1 to $1,000, and a National Hispanic Institute 401(k) valued at $1,001 to $15,000.
Those ranges produce a combined disclosed asset value of $17,004 to $81,000. Her filing also continues to list $15,001 to $50,000 in federal student-loan debt, originating from loans taken out between August 2007 and May 2011. That means the disclosed assets, considered strictly against the reported liability range, could produce a figure ranging from roughly negative $33,000 to positive $66,000.
Importantly, that calculation is only a mathematical range derived from the disclosure brackets and should not be presented as Ocasio-Cortez’s precise net worth.
Ocasio-Cortez’s earlier House filings similarly showed relatively modest reportable assets. Her initial congressional disclosures listed several bank and retirement accounts alongside the same $15,001-to-$50,000 student-loan bracket. A 2024 annual filing, for example, reported an Allied Bank savings account at $15,001 to $50,000, Schwab checking at $1,001 to $15,000, a brokerage account below $1,000 and a National Hispanic Institute 401(k) at $1,001 to $15,000.
Fact-checking organizations have previously rejected viral claims that Ocasio-Cortez is worth tens of millions of dollars. PolitiFact noted that her disclosed assets and liabilities did not support claims of a $29 million fortune, while the House filings have repeatedly shown financial ranges far below that figure.
There is an important limitation when using congressional disclosures to estimate a lawmaker’s net worth. Some assets and retirement arrangements can fall outside the information that must be reported publicly, so the filing does not necessarily represent a complete balance sheet.
Her reported congressional salary also should not be confused with accumulated wealth. Rank-and-file members of Congress have received $174,000 annually, a salary level that has remained unchanged since 2009, but gross earnings do not account for taxes, housing, living costs, debt payments or retirement contributions.
As a result, Ocasio-Cortez’s latest disclosure is best understood as a snapshot of her reportable financial holdings and liabilities, rather than a definitive statement of her total net worth.
