How to read this: members of Congress report each asset and debt in a value band (for example, $1,001 to $15,000), not an exact amount. We add up the low ends and the high ends, then subtract debts the same way, to get the widest possible range. The midpoint is simply the middle of that range, not a measured value. The forms do not include a home the official lives in (unless it earns rent), cars and personal belongings, or federal retirement savings such as the Thrift Savings Plan, so true net worth can be higher. Senate reports list mortgages but usually not the homes they are on. We count those mortgages as debts, as on all our Senate profiles, which can make the low end look lower than it really is.

Compares the 2016 report with the 2025 report, using the same method for both. His first report in the online database covers 2016, the year before he took office as a senator in 2017, so the chart starts before his first day in the Senate. Changes can come from a spouse’s assets, market moves, property values, new debts or how filers choose bands, and the forms do not say which. We do not guess.

John Kennedy reported household assets minus debts of $10.8M to $26.8M, a midpoint of about $18.8M, on his latest financial disclosure (Annual Report for CY 2025 (Amendment 1), filed August 26, 2026).

John Kennedy has represented Louisiana in the U.S. Senate since January 2017 and was reelected in 2022. He is a member of the Republican Party.

Born in Centreville, Mississippi, he graduated from Vanderbilt University and the University of Virginia School of Law and earned another law degree at the University of Oxford. He was Louisiana's secretary of revenue from 1996 to 1999 and state treasurer from 2000 to 2017. His first report shown here covers 2016, the year before he took office.

What his 2025 disclosure shows

The report he filed on August 26, 2026 covers 2025. It lists 114 assets with a value, adding up to $10.8 million to $26.9 million. The largest are Unimproved land (102 acres, Zachary, LA) ($1M–$5M); iShares Core S&P 500 ($500K–$1M) and iShares MSCI Total International Index K ($500K–$1M). Another four items are listed with no value or an undetermined value, such as a pension, so they are not counted.

On the debt side, the report lists one debt, a mortgage with Wells Fargo, held jointly, in the $10,001–$15,000 band. Subtracting debts the same way gives a range of $10.8 million to $26.8 million, with a midpoint of about $18.8 million. The Senate form lists mortgages but usually not the homes they are on, so counting those mortgages as debts pulls the low end of the range down.

How the range has changed

Using the same method for every year, the midpoint of his disclosed range went from about $10.9 million on his 2016 report to about $18.8 million on his 2025 report. The highest midpoint was about $19.1 million, on the 2024 report. The lowest was about $10.9 million, in 2018. The chart shows ten reports from 2016 to 2025, each added up the same way, and nothing is filled in between them.

These are ranges built from the value bands on each form, not exact values. They move with market prices, property values, new or paid-off debts and the bands a filer picks, and the forms do not say which of these caused a change. Like every member of Congress, Kennedy does not have to report a home he lives in, cars and personal belongings, or federal retirement savings such as the Thrift Savings Plan, so his real net worth could be higher than these forms show.
