Gov. Scott’s net worth tumbles — again.
Rick Scott’s latest financial disclosure shows the Republican governor was worth $119.2 million last year — down 19 percent from the previous year.
Scott’s finances have roller-coastered since he first announced his candidacy and reported being worth $218 million in 2010. It’s hard to tell why his bank account tumbled again, since Scott keeps his assets in a blind trust.
But there’s few signs of belt-tightening. He still owns a $15.4 million home in Naples, with a boat house valued at $123,375. His Montana get-away home is valued at $1.5 million.
The governor also reported $16.6 million from investments. He doesn’t take a salary as the state’s chief executive.
Scott’s net worth low point has been the nearly $83 million he reported at the end of 2011.
Scott also has dug into his wallet in his effort to become Florida’s governor — and stay in the job.
He spent $73 million of his family’s cash during his 2010 race as a first-time candidate and pumped a late-hour, $12.8 million into his 2014 re-election victory.
