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.

Compares the 2014 report with the 2025 report, using the same method for both. His first report in the online database covers 2014, before he took office in 2023, so the chart starts before his first day in office. The report for 2015 is only available as a scanned paper filing, so it is left out rather than guessed. 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.

Ryan Zinke reported household assets minus debts of $3.32M to $37.5M, a midpoint of about $20.4M, on his latest financial disclosure (2025 annual report, filed April 28, 2026).

Ryan Zinke has represented Montana's 1st congressional district since 2023. He first served in the House from 2015 to 2017 as Montana's at-large representative, then served as U.S. secretary of the interior under President Donald Trump from March 2017 until January 2019.

Before politics he was a U.S. Navy SEAL from 1986 to 2008, retiring as a commander, and he served in the Montana Senate from 2009 to 2013. He announced in March 2026 that he would not seek re-election. His electronic filings on this page are his 2014 report and his reports from 2022 on; his 2015 report is a paper filing and was not used, and cabinet-era disclosures are filed with a different office.

What his 2025 disclosure shows

The report he filed on April 28, 2026 covers 2025. It lists 10 assets with a value, adding up to $8.9 million to $38.8 million. The largest are LC Hand Holdings LLC (Santa Barbara, CA) (spouse, $5M–$25M); Hand Family Property (Santa Barbara, CA) (spouse, $1M–$5M) and Snowfrog LLC Whitefish MT (MT, MT) (joint, $1M–$5M).

On the debt side, the report lists three debts adding up to $1.3 million to $5.5 million. The largest is a loan: LC Hand Holdings LLC with Pacific Premier Bank Santa Barbara CA, owed by the spouse, in the $1M–$5M band. Subtracting debts the same way gives a range of $3.3 million to $37.5 million, with a midpoint of about $20.4 million.

How the range has changed

Using the same method for every year, the midpoint of his disclosed range went from about $458,000 on his 2014 report to about $20.4 million on his 2025 report. The chart shows five reports from 2014 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, Zinke 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.
