Scott Peters Net Worth

Net Worth Watch estimates the fortune at $200 million in November 2026. Scott Peters represents a San Diego district and has been one of the wealthier members of the House. Most of the money is tied to his wife’s manufacturing business and shared investments.

Most of the total sits in assets that are not priced daily, so the figure is a considered estimate rather than a bank balance. The profile below sets out each component and how firm it is.

The fortune divides into three main parts: his wife’s manufacturing company and investments.

• Specialty chemicals company Family manufacturing business led by Lynn Gorguze.
• Securities portfolio Mutual funds and individual stocks reported in filings.
• San Diego property Residential real estate in Southern California.

Peters worked as an environmental lawyer and served on the San Diego city council before winning a House seat in 2012. In Congress he has focused on water, energy and port issues.

His wife Lynn Gorguze runs a polymer and coatings company acquired from her family, and the couple’s filings show substantial securities holdings alongside the business. That combination puts them among the richest House members.

The business is private, so its value is estimated from comparable specialty chemical firms rather than a market price.

We start from the best available record of what the person owns: company filings, stock exchange positions, property registers, investigative reporting and, for historical figures, reconstructions of the assets they controlled. Where a holding is private we compare it with listed peers, and where the record is thin we say so in the profile.

Figures are shown in US dollars and reviewed on the date at the top of the page. A net worth is not the same as annual income, and it can move sharply when markets or currencies move.
