The forms give each trade as a range of dollars. This adds the low end of every range, so the real volume is at least this and could be much more.
Net worth
Reported as ranges, so no single net worth
- Disclosed assets
- At least $3M
- Disclosed liabilities
- At least $2.7M
A net worth for Kristi Noem cannot be computed from this filing: values are given as ranges, some items carry no value, the highest range has no upper limit, and a home kept for personal use is not reported.
- Disclosed assets:
- as ranges on 58 line items, plus 13 without a dollar value; 1 of those ranges is open ended
- Disclosed liabilities:
- as ranges on 6 line items; 2 of those ranges are open ended
These are the lower and upper bounds of the ranges on the filing, not a market valuation. Assets and liabilities are shown separately and are never netted into a net worth. How these bands are read
The form lists each debt over $10,000 owed at any time during the period it covers, including one repaid before the period ended. A few kinds are left off, such as a debt to a close relative. The filer’s own notes on these debts:
- CorTrust Bank: “Joint.”
- Reliabank: “Loan for Pierre Car Wash, LLC - Spouse.”
- Dacotah Bank: “Loan for Pierre Car Wash, LLC - Spouse.”
- Dacotah Bank: “Loan for Noem Insurance, LLC - Spouse.”
- 2 more on the filing.
Kept since Aug 27, 2026. Federal law generally requires a filing to be destroyed six years after it was received, unless it is needed in an ongoing investigation.
