The value of its assets totaling more than 48.5 million pesos, about $ 3.6 million according to their statements of assets published by the Presidency of Mexico.

The detailed publication of its properties is a rare practice of Mexican presidents. In fact just before Peña Nieto did so Vicente Fox and Felipe Calderon, both nominated by the opposition National Action Party.

Mexican law allows public servants withhold their list of goods, because its only obligation is to deliver the reports to the Ministry of Public Service.
