Donald Trump's 92-page financial disclosure released
Washington (CNN)Donald Trump's full financial disclosure records are out.
The whopping 92-page document discloses the hundreds of investments and assets that make up the business magnate's self-declared net worth of more than $10 billion, revealing a broad earnings portfolio that includes everything from royalties to rent to speaking fees.
The Federal Election Commission released the document Wednesday, one week after Trump filed the form and released a statement announcing a new valuation of his net worth more than $1 billion higher than what he had previously disclosed.
But the FEC form does little in the way of helping watchdogs check that valuation as assets in excess of $50 million dollars are simply listed in that form -- a specific figure is not required for those assets.
Many of Trump's real estate properties, including his Trump tower buildings in New York, are valued at much more than $50 million.
The disclosure includes income Trump collected over the last 18 months.
The findings
The document listed the speaking fees Trump has raked in, an issue that has already percolated as a point of scrutiny in the 2016 race -- particularly as Bill and Hillary Clinton, the leading Democratic presidential candidate, have made millions of dollars over speaking engagements.

The most Trump was paid for a speaking engagement was $450,000 -- a figure that is in the range former President Bill Clinton has pulled for delivering speeches.
The document also revealed that Trump has held positions in 515 organizations, including many Trump Organization-related bodies. He is frequently listed as the chairman, president or an officer of those groups, according to the disclosure.
Amid the hundreds of thousands of dollars Trump has invested in blue chip companies like AT&T, Halliburton and General Electric, Trump has also invested between $100,001 and $250,000 in gold -- a popular investment choice among a subset of conservative voters.
Trump claimed last week that he made more than $213 million over the course of 14 seasons of his famed reality show "The Apprentice."
The disclosure also does not help verify that figure, but does list $14,222 in salaried income in addition to a Screen Actors' Guild pension income of about $110,000.
