Republican VP nominee Ryan's personal wealth is no mystery

Washington, Aug. 12 (ANI): The details of presumptive Republican Party nominee for vice president Paul Ryan 's personal wealth are not a mystery, unlike those of Mitt Romney.

According to Politico, while Ryan is nowhere close to the nine-figure wealth Romney boasts of, he is not exactly hurting, either.

According to an analysis by the Center for Responsive Politics of the new Republican vice presidential candidate's 2010 personal financial filings, Ryan's overall net worth falls between 9,27,100 dollars and 3.20 million dollars, making him the 124th wealthiest member of the House.

Additional personal financial disclosures by Ryan indicate that the Wisconsin congressman has maintained well-above-average wealth for the duration of his congressional tenure.

Ryan has to date been under no significant pressure or obligation to release his personal Internal Revenue Service filings, although calls to do so will likely begin immediately.

"It'll be very, very interesting to see if Ryan releases his tax returns," Kathy Kiely, managing editor for the nonpartisan Sunlight Foundation, which tracks political money, said.

Ryan's latest personal financial disclosure report, which covers calendar year 2011, lists several dozen stocks and mutual funds he or his wife, Janna, own.

Ryan's individual investments are generally modest, ranging in value from 1,001 dollars to 15,000 dollars.

These include stock in well-known companies that extend from tobacco and oil interests to fast food and athletic wear. (ANI)
