… Welch and Balint both have median net worths of over $1 million, and Sanders’ is on the cusp. Welch, a Democrat, has a median net worth of more than $12.8 million, according to his latest financial disclosure, which covers 2025. The surge in his net worth from nearly $9.1 million in 2024 is driven by an increase in the value of an existing money market account and several mutual and exchange-traded funds, or ETFs. Welch’s largest asset is that money market account, which is worth between $1 million and $5 million, according to his latest disclosure. On his 2024 disclosure, Welch valued the account between $500,001 and $1 million. …
Only one source, VTDigger (unrated, 0.40 credibility), reports a median net worth of more than $12.8 million for Welch from his latest financial disclosure covering 2025, which supports the 2025 figure. No source gives the 2024 figure of nearly $9.1 million, so the claimed increase cannot be confirmed.
What we found
Supports. VTDigger reports that Welch has a median net worth of more than $12.8 million according to his latest financial disclosure, which covers 2025.[1]
Context. No source in the set reports Welch's 2024 net worth or median, so the 'nearly $9.1 million in 2024' starting point and the claimed increase are not addressed.[1][2][3]
Context. Quiver Quant and moomoo report live net worth estimates of $10.0M (Sept 2025) and $10.3M (Jan 2026), which use a different measure than the disclosure-based median and do not directly contradict it.[2][3]
Context. The only source for the 2025 median figure is a single unrated outlet citing a disclosure, and no primary disclosure record or fact-checker addresses the claim.[1]
