Since the earliest online report (2013)
Compares the 2013 report with the 2025 report, using the same method for both. His first report in the online database covers 2013, the year he took office. 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.

Where the money comes from
Main sources named in the disclosures and the reporting we cite. The forms don’t split the total into exact amounts, so we don’t show percentages.
Ted Cruz reported household assets minus debts of −$1.13M to $13.8M, a midpoint of about $6.35M, on his latest financial disclosure (Annual Report for CY 2025, filed August 13, 2026).
Ted Cruz has represented Texas in the U.S. Senate since 2013 and has chaired the Senate Commerce Committee since 2025. He is the first Hispanic American to serve as a U.S. senator from Texas, and he was reelected in 2018 and 2024.
He graduated from Princeton University and Harvard Law School, worked as a policy adviser in the George W. Bush administration and served as solicitor general of Texas from 2003 to 2008.
What his 2025 disclosure shows
The report he filed on August 13, 2026 covers 2025. It lists 40 assets with a value, adding up to $4.2 million to $15 million. The largest are The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (spouse, $1M–$5M); BlackRock LifePath Index 2035 Fund Institutional (spouse, $1M–$5M) and Morgan Lewis Cash Balance Retirement Plan ($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 six debts adding up to $1.1 million to $5.3 million. The largest is a mortgage with Bank of America, held jointly, in the $1M–$5M band. Subtracting debts the same way gives a range of −$1.1 million to $13.8 million, with a midpoint of about $6.4 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 $2.4 million on his 2013 report to about $6.4 million on his 2025 report. The lowest was about −$1.3 million, in 2016. The chart shows 13 reports from 2013 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, Cruz 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.

Why does Ted Cruz's range go below zero?
Our low end adds up the smallest possible value of every asset band and subtracts the largest possible value of every debt band. On his 2025 report the debts listed could, in the most extreme case, be larger than the assets, so the range starts at −$1.1 million. The midpoint is about $6.4 million.
