According to a report by El Día, the sworn declarations from officials in Argentina's Executive Branch have revealed a significant reshuffling in the wealth rankings. Manuel Adorni, the Cabinet Chief, has notably climbed the list of the government's wealthiest members.
His latest filing with the Anti-Corruption Office (OA) shows a total declared fortune of $944,575,052 Argentine pesos (approximately $1 million USD at official rates). This figure starkly contrasts with the $107.8 million pesos he declared when he first entered public service, representing a patrimonial growth of approximately 775%.
Context for International Readers: The Anti-Corruption Office (Oficina Anticorrupción) is the Argentine government agency responsible for receiving and analyzing asset declarations from public officials to prevent and investigate conflicts of interest and illicit enrichment.
| Official | Initial Assets | Current Assets | Variation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Manuel Adorni Cabinet Chief | $107.8M ARS | $944.5M ARS | +775% |
| Karina Milei General Secretary of Presidency | $1.7M ARS | $11M ARS | +569% |
| Luis Caputo Economy Minister | $2,307M ARS | $11,851M ARS | +413% |
| Javier Milei President of Argentina | $54M ARS | $206M ARS | +276% |
| Sandra Pettovello Minister of Human Capital | $52M ARS | $78M ARS | +149% |
| Pablo Quirno Vice Minister of Finance | $160M ARS | $438M ARS | +174% |
Javier Milei is an economist and the current President of Argentina, elected in 2023. He leads the libertarian movement known as "La Libertad Avanza" (Freedom Advances).
Karina Milei is the President's sister and serves as the General Secretary of the Presidency, a powerful administrative role. She was a key strategist in his electoral campaign.
Luis Caputo is the Minister of Economy and a longtime associate of Milei. He previously served in financial roles and is known for his strong dollarization advocacy.
As reported by El Día, Adorni's patrimonial increase is primarily driven by a flow of dollar savings he kept outside the formal financial system, which he attributes to a Bitcoin investment made in 2013.
This declaration has ignited a heated public debate. It is important to note that Adorni admitted to omitting approximately USD 500,000 in previous sworn declarations. This is currently under investigation by Judge Ariel Lijo, a federal magistrate in Buenos Aires with jurisdiction over financial crimes.
Karina Milei also experienced significant growth: her assets went from $1.7 million to $11 million pesos, a 569% increase.
Economy Minister Luis Caputo leads in absolute terms, with assets growing from $2,307 million to $11,851 million pesos, a 413% increase.
President Javier Milei saw his assets vary from $54 million to $206 million pesos, representing a 276% growth.
The political opposition is advancing a motion of censure against Adorni. The Peronist coalition (the main opposition force in Argentina) has gathered 120 signatures in the Chamber of Deputies (they need 129). They also seek 37 votes in the Senate.
Victoria Villarruel (Vice President and head of the Senate) has convened the Parliamentary Labor committee for June 18, 2026.
Negative mentions of Adorni on social media rose from 135,000 to 323,000, according to Estudio Enter, a local consulting firm.
Judge Ariel Lijo is investigating the origin of the funds. Adorni incorporated USD 513,000 not previously declared in his latest affidavit, attributing them to cryptocurrency operations between 2013 and 2018.
Possible replacements mentioned include Federico Sturzenegger (former Central Bank president) and Pablo Quirno (current Vice Minister of Finance), though there is internal resistance.
