He served in the House from 2019 to 2021, left after the 2020 election, and returned in January 2025. The chart includes electronic annual reports from both stints; intervening years have no House annual reports. His first report in the online database covers 2017, before he took office in 2025, so the chart starts before his first day in office. Every bar is one official report, added up the same way. Nothing is filled in between reports. Tap or hover a bar for details.

Since taking office
Compares the candidate report from 2017, filed before taking office with the 2025 report, using the same method for both. 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.
Gil Cisneros reported household assets minus debts of $35.4M to $124.5M, a midpoint of about $79.9M, on his latest financial disclosure (2025 annual report, filed August 13, 2026).
Gil Cisneros has represented California's 31st congressional district since 2025. He is a former naval officer and a member of the Democratic Party. He previously represented California's 39th district from 2019 to 2021 and later served as Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness.
In 2010 he and his wife won a large Mega Millions lottery jackpot, which became the source of the family trust holdings that appear on his disclosure reports. He left the House after the 2020 election and returned in the 2024 cycle; the chart reflects his available electronic annual reports from both stints.
What his 2025 disclosure shows
The report he filed on August 13, 2026 covers 2025. It lists 574 assets with a value, adding up to $40.4 million to $125.5 million. The largest are Family trust: Family trust LLC: Residential real property (Torrance, CA) ($1M–$5M); Family trust: Family trust LLC: Residential real property (Placentia, CA) ($1M–$5M) and Family trust: Bank of America: Columbia Contrarian Core Fund Class Z ($1M–$5M). Another 69 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 margin Account with Bank of America, held jointly, in the $1M–$5M band. Subtracting debts the same way gives a range of $35.4 million to $124.5 million, with a midpoint of about $79.9 million. It also lists a mortgage on a home the report does not list as an asset. As on all our House profiles, we leave that debt out because the home's value is not counted either.
How the range has changed
Using the same method for every year, the midpoint of his disclosed range went from about $137.7 million on his 2017 report to about $79.9 million on his 2025 report. The lowest was about $41.5 million, in 2018. The chart shows five reports from 2017 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, Cisneros 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.
