Scott, Crist Release Personal Finances
Gov. Rick Scott and former Gov. Charlie Crist released their own personal finance reports Monday evening, revealing both their net worths and personal investments.
"For the purposes of qualifying as a candidate for re-election, I have disclosed my financial assets today," said Scott. "However, before that and immediately after filing, these assets were under the management of an independent financial professional in a blind trust in order to avoid even the appearance of a conflict of interest."
Scott released three years' worth of joint tax returns filed by him and his wife, Ann. The returnsindicated he earned $9.3 million in 2010, $80.3 million in 2011, and $8.7 million in 2012. In addition, Scott revealed a net worth of over $132 million.
The governor invited Crist to do the same and disclose his own tax returns.
When qualifying for the ballot, Cristdisclosed a net worth of $1.25 million, earning $712,000 in income last year. Over $296,000 of his income was received from law firmMorgan & Morgan.
Crist has not yet responded to Scott's comments about his tax returns.
