This ranking of the wealthiest United States Congress members identifies the top fifty richest individuals as of 2018, presenting estimated net worth figures (calculated as assets minus liabilities) for the members and their immediate family units. Due to Congressional financial disclosure regulations, these valuations are expressed in ranges, which may underestimate substantial holdings since there are no upper limits defined for asset values exceeding $50 million (or $1 million for spouses). Typically, government salaries and primary residences are excluded from these calculations. Variations in disclosure formats can affect the precision of these estimates. By 2020, more than half of Congress members were millionaires, with a median net worth near $1 million.

Public access to disclosure filings is available through the OpenSecrets platform.

Since 2009, the established compensation rates for congressional roles have been:

Position Annual Salary
Speaker of the House $223,500
Majority and minority leaders $193,400
President pro tempore $193,400
Senators and representatives $174,000
Non-voting members of the United States House of Representatives $174,000

Among the fifty most affluent members in 2018 and 2019 were notable personalities such as:
