property as sfated In his return
amounts To $2ss. .1as. but Detroit
bankers point out that these are only
tangible assets and his real wealth
will probably far exceed that figure.
Some bankers indeed say that Ford
is worth more than sTso.o0o.ooo when
the coed will and name of the Ford
Motor Company are taken into con-
sidcration. Ford himself has said that
he does not know how much he is
worth and he does not care.
The statement filed in Lansing said
that on June the Ford Company
had s54.s44,ssS in cash in hand or in
bank. Plants, buildings and improves
ments were valued At S46.926,ofo, and
machinery and equipment at si2.1S3.-
