Rudy Giuliani Lists His Financial Assets in Bankruptcy File

Rudy Giuliani has listed his assets in his bankruptcy files, which include a multi-million-dollar beachside property, a retro Mercedes-Benz and a possible legal claim against Donald Trump.

The former Trump lawyer said there was an undetermined sum he could potentially claim against the former president, along with a defamation action against President Joe Biden.

Newsweek has approached the White House and a spokesperson for Trump for comment via email out of hours.

Biden's son Hunter was previously named as a creditor in Giuliani's bankruptcy petition.

Giuliani's total listings come to $10,632,334, of which $9.1 million is real estate. The figure from the January 26 filing is far lower than the $148 million defamation judgment issued against him after he was sued by two Georgia election workers.

Among Giuliani's property assets is his Palm Beach, Florida, home valued at $3.5 million, and his grand apartment in New York coming in at $5.6 million.

That property, in the city where Giuliani was once the mayor, was reported in August last year as being up for sale for $6.5 million, complete with an oak-paneled dining room and library. The Upper East Side residence was reportedly purchased for just under $4.8 million in 2002, according to a report by The Guardian.

The U.K. news outlet spoke to Judith Giuliani, the lawyer's third wife. She said the apartment was a welcome place for respite. Rudy Giuliani would "smoke cigars and relax and watch his Yankee games," Judith Giuliani added.

Giuliani claimed over $1.6 million in his assets as exempt from collection. His lawyer Heath Berger said he believed his client was in his "twilight years."

"Hopefully, at some point through the reorganization, we can come to some plan at some reduced rate that will let Mr. Giuliani kind of continue working," Berger said, according to Bloomberg. Newsweek has approached Berger for further comment via email out of hours.

Giuliani's other assets include:

  • A 1980 Mercedes-Benz SL500 - $25,000
  • Household furnishings - $20,000
  • TV and electronics - $2,500
  • Sports memorabilia including signed Joe DiMaggio shirt and Reggie Jackson picture - unknown
  • Clothes - $8,500
  • Watches, diamond ring and three New York Yankees World Series rings - $30,000
  • Citibank checking account - $31,000
  • Savings account - $351
  • Retirement accounts - over $1.4 million

The filing also lists California overpayment in taxes amounting to $10,733, relating to payments he was given for his appearance on The Masked Singer TV show.

In December, Giuliani was found to have defamed Wandrea "Shaye" Moss and Ruby Freeman, after repeatedly making false claims about ballot fraud during the 2020 presidential election.

The $148 million order was followed by Giuliani filing for bankruptcy.

A Federal Election Commission (FEC) filing shows Giuliani's political action committee raised over $727,000 from the period of August to December last year. Exactly 13 donors contributed to the fund.
