Since taking office
Compares the candidate report from 2019, 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.
Jay Obernolte reported household assets minus debts of $47.1M to $184.1M, a midpoint of about $115.6M, on his latest financial disclosure (2025 annual report, filed August 9, 2026).
Jay Obernolte has represented California's 23rd congressional district since 2021, when it was numbered as the 8th district. He is a businessman and a member of the Republican Party.
Before Congress he served on the Big Bear Lake city council, was the city's mayor, and then represented the 33rd district in the California State Assembly. He is the owner, president and technical director of FarSight Studios, a video game developer. His first report shown here is a 2019 candidate report filed before he took office.
What his 2025 disclosure shows
The report he filed on August 9, 2026 covers 2025. It lists 10 assets with a value, adding up to $52.1 million to $185.1 million. The largest are FarSight Studios, Inc., 100% Interest ($25M–$50M); FarSight Technologies, Inc., 100% Interest ($5M–$25M) and Vanguard brokerage account: Vanguard 500 Index Fd Admiral Shs (VFIAX) ($5M–$25M). Another two 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 debt with Vanguard Brokerage Services, in the $1M–$5M band. Subtracting debts the same way gives a range of $47.1 million to $184.1 million, with a midpoint of about $115.6 million.
How the range has changed
Using the same method for every year, the midpoint of his disclosed range went from about $81.3 million on his 2019 report to about $115.6 million on his 2025 report. The lowest was about $78.5 million, in 2020. The chart shows seven reports from 2019 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, Obernolte 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.
