Gov. Rick Scott’s

net worth rose 56 percent in 2017 to $232.6 million, according to a required financial-disclosure report.

TALLAHASSEE — Gov. Rick Scott’s net worth soared by nearly 56 percent to $232.6 million as of the end of 2017, up more than $83 million from a year earlier, according to a financial-disclosure report filed Friday with the state Commission on Ethics.

The Florida Democratic Party responded to the report, claiming Scott’s increase in wealth was evidence of his “corruption.”

Scott, who made a fortune in the health-care industry and other businesses before entering politics, has put his investments in a blind trust while serving as governor. As a result, the new financial-disclosure report did not detail the reasons that his net worth increased substantially in 2017.

But the report showed the value of the blind trust at $215 million as of the end of 2017, up from $130.5 million at the end of 2016.

Overall, Scott reported a net worth of about $149.3 million as of Dec. 31, 2016.

The new disclosure listed a home in Naples valued at slightly less than $14.1 million as of the end of 2017, down nearly $1 million from the previous year.

Scott, who is running for the U.S. Senate this year, also listed a $1.5 million residence in Montana, with the value unchanged.

Scott’s campaign issued a news release Friday evening that said he will file a federal disclosure report next month that is required for Senate candidates. The campaign said that report will make available additional details about Scott’s investments.

“Rick Scott has taken actions as Governor that have directly increased his wealth, all while leaving Floridians left to pay the price of his corruption,’’ said Florida Democratic Party spokesman Nate Evans in a statement. “With Scott’s net worth more than doubling since taking office, and increasing by over $80 million this year, the extent of Scott’s use of his office to pad his own pockets has become significantly more clear. It’s time Scott answer the mounting questions over his secret financial account so Floridians can see the full scope of how he has used his office to enrich himself.”

Scott’s campaign for Senate released a statement pointing out that the governor sold the state plane, “which has saved the state $2.4 million each year since 2011.” He also has declined to take a salary throughout his time as governor and would do the same if elected to the Senate, the statement said.

State officials are required to file financial-disclosure forms by July 1 of each year, though they receive a grace period until Sept. 1. The reports typically reflect finances in the previous calendar year.
