Book Deal Boosts Net Worth of GOP 2016 Candidate Ted Cruz

A new financial disclosure from Texas Sen. Ted Cruz estimates the Republican presidential candidate is worth between $2 million and $4.5 million, aided by an advance of roughly $319,000 for his best-selling memoir.

Cruz's financial report shows his overall wealth changed little from his most recent disclosure, which Cruz filed in 2013 as a member of the Senate. The main change was that Cruz has paid down a mortgage valued from $250,000 to $500,000.

The financial reports provide estimates of dollar amounts in these wide ranges.

Cruz's disclosure said he received a payment of $318,750 in June 2014 for his book, "A Time for Truth." Cruz also reported making royalties as of July 30 of between $100,000 and $1 million on the book.
