Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has a net worth of more than $1.17 million dollars, according to a newly filed 2022 state disclosure.

A viral tweet claimed that DeSantis' net worth increased from $340,000 in 2020 to $52 million in 2021. PolitiFact found no credible evidence to support this claim and rated it False. DeSantis' net worth is based on his assets and liabilities, not his campaign fundraising.

Mr. DeSantis, a former congressman, had seen his personal wealth hold relatively steady in the years since he was first elected governor in 2018. At the end of that year, he reported his net worth at around $284,000.

He now has a net worth of $630m, according to Forbes, which likens him to other super-rich investors who have recently taken the political plunge like Tom Steyer, Michael Bloomberg and Mr Trump himself.

DeSantis, who currently serves as Florida’s governor, has limited private sector business experience and a personal balance sheet to match. At the end of last year, he was worth about $320,000 and still owed roughly $20,000 in student loans, according to a financial disclosure report he filed in June.
