3. Scott Peters

$32.0 million minimum net worth

Peters (D-San Diego) was the third-richest member of California’s delegation.

His 2016 assets showed a large decrease because they no longer included a Vanguard investment fund held by his wife Lynn Gorguze. The form for 2015 listed the fund as worth at least $50 million. Aides to Peters said Friday the fund had been incorrectly tabulated in 2015, and actually was valued at a minimum of $1 million that year. The Times caught the error because his fund was no longer listed as an asset in 2016. Peters will be filing an amendment to the disclosure, his staff said.

A large chunk of his net worth came from Gorguze, who is chief executive of the private equity firm Cameron Holdings. Peters also had millions of dollars invested in municipal and state bonds around California and the U.S.

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.
