Brett Kavanaugh would be least-rich Supreme Court justice

If he’s confirmed to the Supreme Court, at least one aspect of Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s life would set him apart from the other eight sitting justices — his wallet.

An analysis of Kavanaugh’s most recent personal financial disclosure, obtained last Friday by the Center for Responsive Politics, “shows him reporting between $15,000 and $65,000 in his bank and retirement accounts.” According to the center, “That would make him one of the Supreme Court’s least wealthy justices if he’s picked by Trump and confirmed by the Senate.” Though he earned at least in the ballpark of $250,000 last year, Kavanaugh is not required as a judge to “disclose mortgages, equity loans, or lines of credit on personal residences, vehicles, boats or motor homes,” said the center, meaning the “exact value of [his] total assets is unknown.” Other than his $1 million dollar home in Maryland, Kavanaugh appears to own no additional property.
