Assets disclosed: on the 2025 termination filing. The values on Burns’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: Apr 2021 to Dec 2023. Transactions on 278-T reports and annual reports, which include a spouse’s and dependent children’s.
Left office: served in the Biden administration.
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.

14 of the 21 trades with a filing date to check were reported after 45 days plus any extension the filing states. The other 90 carry no filing date that can be checked.
The executive financial disclosure reports the official’s transactions together with those of a spouse and dependent children, and does not mark which is which. These trades are shown as disclosed. They should not be read as the official personally trading.
30 annual report rows are left out because the filing gives several dates for one line rather than one. Each row links to its filing, which is the complete record.

Estimated volume
$3.2M
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
- $5.2M to $14M
- Disclosed liabilities
- $500K to $1M
A net worth for William J. Burns 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 40 line items, plus 10 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.
