- Took office
- Mar 2021
Assets disclosed: on the 2025 termination filing. The values on Cardona’s latest financial disclosure to the Office of Government Ethics, added up as ranges, because the form gives ranges and never exact values.
Outside pay: shown for the current administration only. What the latest form reports was paid to the official to the dollar, outside the public salary, which is set by law.
Trades disclosed: in the filings read through Oct 24, 2026. Transactions on 278-T reports and annual reports, which include a spouse’s and dependent children’s.
Took office: no leaving date on record.
Outside pay is kept for the current administration only. The Office of Government Ethics drops officials from its public portal after they leave, and by law it destroys most reports six years after they are filed. We saved some earlier reports before they went, but no complete set for any earlier administration survives, and a partial record shown as if it were whole would mislead.
Start date: the cabinet record.

Transactions an official reports on a periodic transaction report within 45 days, and those the annual report lists. Not every official trades: many hold funds, bonds or a blind trust, which make no transaction of this kind.
Net worth
Reported as ranges, so no single net worth
- Disclosed assets
- $486K to $1.7M
- Disclosed liabilities
- $50K to $100K
A net worth for Miguel Cardona cannot be computed from this filing: values are given as ranges, some items carry no value, and a home kept for personal use is not reported.
- Disclosed assets:
- as ranges on 57 line items, plus 9 without a dollar value
- Disclosed liabilities:
- as ranges on 1 line item
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.
Kept since Aug 28, 2026. Federal law generally requires a filing to be destroyed six years after it was received, unless it is needed in an ongoing investigation.
Disclosures: Office of Government Ethics, read through Oct 24, 2026. Latest filing: 2025 termination filing.
