Frequently asked questions
Questions about Ken Buck
How much is Ken Buck worth?
Based on the termination report for 2024, we estimate Ken Buck (Former Member of Congress from Colorado)'s net worth at $292,009: the midpoints of the reported assets minus those of the liabilities. Because the filing gives only ranges, it lies between −$300,980 and $884,998.
How much was Ken Buck worth before Congress?
Our data has no annual report from before Congress; the first one covers 2015, the first year in Congress, and gives $765,502. According to the termination report for 2024, it is $292,009, a decrease of 62%.
How do you calculate Ken Buck's net worth?
We take the midpoints of all assets minus the midpoints of all liabilities from the termination report for 2024, with the amounts as reported: assets of $842,010 and liabilities of $550,001. A personal residence that produces no income is not reported.
Does Ken Buck's net worth point to insider trading?
A reported trade is not proof of insider trading. Members of Congress must report every trade; 77 disclosed trades of Ken Buck (Former Member of Congress from Colorado) through October 17, 2021 are on this page. We show what was reported. The disclosed trades are in the Ken Buck stock tracker.
Why does this net worth differ from other estimates?
Members of Congress report their assets and liabilities only in amount classes, and some classes have no upper limit. We use the midpoint of each class from the official annual report and subtract the liabilities. A class without an upper limit counts at its lower bound, so for that item the estimate is a minimum. Other estimates often use different assumptions, such as current market values or no deduction for liabilities, which makes them come out higher or lower.
Where does Wolf of Washington get its data?
Wolf of Washington builds and maintains its own database of stock trades by members of Congress: more than 102,000 trades by more than 350 members of Congress, from 2012 through October 28, 2026, updated every business day.
The trades on this page come from that database, which records the official filings with the Clerk of the House. Compiled by Wolf of Washington from the official filings. We show filings through November 3, 2026.
From all those trades, experienced traders on our team pick the ones worth acting on. Of the 16,781 congressional trades reported in the past 1.5 years, we shared 221 with members since March 2025.
A filing gives amounts as one of the fixed official amount classes, for example up to $5M, not an exact amount. We use the midpoint. An open upper bound, such as "Over $50 million", has no upper limit: we count it as its lower bound and call it a minimum, so the real amount can be higher.
Estimated net worth = the midpoints of all assets minus the midpoints of all liabilities, from the termination report for 2024 (filed June 19, 2024).
Because the ranges are so wide, the same filing puts the net worth anywhere between −$300,980 and $884,998. In that upper limit, an open upper bound counts only with its lower bound.
A personal residence is not reported, because a home that produces no income does not have to be listed as an asset on the annual report. The mortgage on it is listed under liabilities. The real net worth can therefore be higher.
For each year we take that year's annual report; if it was amended later, the newest amendment. Sources: the annual financial disclosure reports filed with the Clerk of the House; the trades come from our database, which processes the official periodic transaction reports. Compiled by Wolf of Washington from the official filings.
