Biden's personal finances little changed in 2023, documents show
May 15, 2024 3:40 PM

WASHINGTON, May 15 (Reuters) -

U.S. President Joe Biden disclosed a little-changed personal

financial situation in 2023, though his book royalties fell and

the amount he owed on a home equity loan rose, federal documents

showed.

Biden and his wife Jill Biden reported total assets between

roughly $1 million and $2.6 million and liabilities between

roughly $350,000 and $850,000, according to an Office of

Government Ethics form that lists ranges rather than precise

figures.

The White House released the documents on Wednesday. Biden,

a Democrat, is seeking reelection in 2024 and the economy's

performance has been a top issue for voters. His Republican

rival Donald Trump's finances have been in focus amid several

legal cases.

An earlier tax disclosure showed that the Bidens' income

rose 7% to $619,976 in 2023. Trump, who is not a sitting

official, has not made a comparable disclosure.

A report covering Vice President Kamala Harris and her

husband Doug Emhoff's finances was also released. Harris

reported being gifted tickets valued at $1,655.92 to a Beyonce

concert by the "Texas Hold 'Em" artist.

Biden's liabilities include a mortgage on his personal home

carrying a balance between $250,001 and $500,000. The interest

rate for the mortgage, which Biden incurred from TD Bank

in 2013, is 3.375%.

The president took out a home-equity loan in 2022 with a

variable interest rate and a 10-year term, which rose to

$100,000 to $250,000 from $15,001 to $50,000.

The Bidens earned less than $6,201 in royalties last year

from a series of books they have written about their half

century in public life.
