Due to transparency laws, we are now able to see a great deal about how much money our politicians make and how much they're worth. How much somebody makes is a lot easier to determine an exact number vs how much somebody is worth because the value of an asset is generally subject to much greater assumptions than income is.
With that said as you read the article you'll see that there are large variations in their net worth based upon certain asset classes. On top of that I don't think they're required to give an exact amount for the asset, but instead they pick a range. This makes since because not only can people attribute a subjective range to the value of an asset, but for instance the value of stocks and bonds can fluctuate considerably as well.
