U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer reported cash, retirement, and investment holdings ranging from approximately $1.17 million to $3.75 million in his 2025 annual financial disclosure, according to an analysis by CNBC. The 16-page document filed with the Office of Government Ethics provides insight into the financial situation of President Donald Trump’s top trade official since he departed a high-paying partnership at King & Spalding to join the administration in February 2025.
Greer disclosed that he received $652,610 in salary and bonuses from King & Spalding in 2025. His earlier nominee disclosure had indicated an anticipated performance-based bonus for 2024 work, valued between $250,001 and $500,000, which was paid prior to his government service. He had previously reported total compensation of approximately $1.5 million from the law firm.
A notable change in the new filing involves Greer’s cash assets. An account designated as “U.S. bank #2” saw its value increase from the $250,001–$500,000 range in his nominee filing to the $500,001–$1 million range in the updated disclosure, generating between $15,001 and $50,000 in interest.
Because federal disclosures typically report assets in broad ranges, it is not possible to determine exactly how Greer’s wealth has changed. The total asset figure does not represent his net worth, as his primary residence is excluded from the filing. Greer did report a mortgage valued between $1 million and $5 million at an interest rate of 2.375%.
The mortgage rate is shockingly low at 2.375% for a million-dollar loan. That saves him thousands monthly compared to current market rates.
$650K from his old firm just shows how wealthy this circle really is. Normal people don’t have six-figure payouts sitting around like that.
So he left a $1.5 million law firm salary for government pay, yet his liquid assets went up? I want to know where that extra money came from.
Interesting that his cash nearly doubled while his wife’s job is the primary income source now. Transparency is good, but the math still feels fuzzy.
