This list of members of the United States Congress by wealth includes the fifty richest members of Congress as of 2018. It displays the net worth (the difference between assets and liabilities) for the member and their immediate family, such as a spouse or dependent children. These figures offer only an estimation of wealth, as the Congressional financial disclosure rules use value ranges instead of exact amounts. As an upper range is not specified for values over $50 million (or over $1 million for a spouse), large assets are not represented accurately. Additionally, government salaries and personal residences are not typically included in disclosures. Furthermore, several members of Congress do not use a standardized electronic format, instead filing reports that range from vague to indecipherable. As of 2020, over half of the members of Congress were millionaires and the median net worth of members was approximately $1 million.
Well, the basic idea here is good but 1% is not very accurate anymore. A quick search found this from Kiplinger:
People with the top 1% of net worth in the U.S. in 2025 will have $11.6 million in net worth The top 2% will have a net worth of $2.7 million The top 5% will have $1.17 million The top 10% will have $970,900
