His primary residence in DE is also not part of the disclosure (but it would be if there were unrelated co-owners, and receiving a mortgage from certain types of persons would also be a separate disclosure). The likely real range is something on the order of $4M. Very healthy and appealing, but far from rich and not one penny more than he'd be worth had he worked his whole life in a good, less-than-top-40 law firm.
I understand where you are coming from on the pension package...but the fact is he will only receive the annual income from it and there is no residual.
As to his home etc...this link discuses his and Mr. Obama's...he has quite the mortgage for a 72 year old...one would have thought it would be free and clear by now but he even refinanced it.
