The richest members of Congress in 2026

(NewsNation) — Several of Congress’ wealthiest lawmakers are preparing to leave office after this term. Others are on the ballot as the midterms approach.

Members of the House and Senate must file annual financial disclosures under the Ethics in Government Act. The report lists their investments, assets and business interests.

Here are Congress’ wealthiest members, according to the most recently published live net worth estimates tracked by Quiver Quantitative.

Rep. Jefferson Shreve (R-Ind.) sits at the top of Quiver’s list with an estimated net worth of $715.2 million. He’s a former Indianapolis city council member.

His fortune comes from the self-storage business Storage Express, which he sold for $590 million in 2022.

Shreve narrowly survived a primary challenge in May and will face Democratic nominee Cynthia “Cinde” Wirth in November, a rematch of 2024.

Sen. Jim Justice (R-W.Va.) is Congress’ second-richest member on Quiver’s list, with a net worth of $664.4 million, though he has many debts.

Forbes once estimated Justice’s fortune at $1.9 billion, stripped him of his billionaire status in 2021, and in 2025, estimated his net worth fell below zero because his liabilities far exceeded his assets.

He also agreed to pay nearly $5.2 million in overdue personal taxes after the IRS filed liens of more than $8 million against him........
