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. We also leave out mortgages on homes the report does not list as assets, because the homes themselves are not counted either.

Compares the 2013 report with the 2025 report, using the same method for both. He took office in 2008. The House's online database has his electronic reports from 2013 on, so we can't show his wealth when he first 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.

Congressional salary

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.

Steve Scalise reported household assets minus debts of −$50K to −$15K, a midpoint of about −$33K, on his latest financial disclosure (2025 annual report, filed August 13, 2026).

Steve Scalise has represented Louisiana's 1st congressional district, which covers much of the New Orleans suburbs, since 2008. He has been House majority leader since 2023, after serving as majority whip from 2014 to 2019 and minority whip from 2019 to 2023.

Before Congress he served three terms in the Louisiana House of Representatives and briefly in the Louisiana State Senate. In June 2017 he was seriously wounded in a shooting at a practice for the Congressional Baseball Game.

What his 2025 disclosure shows

The report he filed on August 13, 2026 covers 2025. It lists no assets with a reportable value.

On the debt side, the report lists one debt, a personal Loan with Home Bank, held jointly, in the $15,001–$50,000 band. Subtracting debts the same way gives a range of −$50,000 to −$15,000, with a midpoint of about −$33,000. It also lists 2 mortgages on a home the report does not list as an asset. As on all our House profiles, we leave those debts 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 −$113,000 on his 2013 report to about −$33,000 on his 2025 report. The highest midpoint was about $142,000, on the 2017 report. 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, Scalise 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.

Steve Scalise net worth FAQ

What is Steve Scalise's net worth?

Steve Scalise's 2025 financial disclosure puts household assets minus debts at minus $50K to minus $15K, a midpoint of about −$33K. Officials report values in ranges, so this is an estimate, not an exact figure.

Where does this number come from?

From Steve Scalise's official annual financial disclosure, filed with the Clerk of the House on August 13, 2026. We add up every asset and debt band on the form. The same method is used for every year on the chart.

Has Steve Scalise's net worth changed since taking office?

Compared with the earliest online report (2013), the low end of the range went from −$161K to −$50K and the high end from −$65K to −$15K. He took office in 2008. The House's online database has his electronic reports from 2013 on, so we can't show his wealth when he first took office.

Why does Steve Scalise'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 −$50,000. The midpoint is about −$33,000.
