She also listed herself as a managing member and owner of a company called "Metropolitan Medspa" based in Palm Beach Gardens, valued on the form as between $1 million and $5 million.
The rest of Guilfoyle's wealth is bound up in various stocks and investment funds, totaling between $1.7 million and $7.7 million. Nominees are generally only required to list what range the values of their assets fall into, rather than exact amounts.
She has significant investments in Big Tech firms: She disclosed owning at least $45,000 in Apple stock, at least $36,000 in Alphabet stock, and at least $30,000 in Amazon stock. She has agreed to divest from many of these stocks upon Senate confirmation.

ICE breaks arrest record two days in a row under Trump's new immigration directives
Immigration and Customs Enforcement made a record-setting 2,368 arrests of illegal aliens in a single day on Wednesday, a senior ICE official told Fox News. This broke the record from just one day prior, as there were 2,267 ICE arrests on Tuesday. The increase comes after an average of roughly 1,600 arrests last week, as the White House pursues a goal of 3,000 arrests daily. "Under President Trump's leadership, we are looking to set a goal of a minimum of 3,000 arrests for ICE every day," White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller told "Hannity" on at the end of May, indicting that the goal could go even higher. Homan also previously said "The numbers are good, but I'm not satisfied. I haven't been satisfied all year long," in an "America's Newsroom" interview in May. The uptick in arrests can be attributed to a surge in worksite enforcement and immigration court arrests. In addition, ICE is using collateral, like arresting individuals who are not initial targets but are with a target at the time of an arrest. ICE sources tell Fox News if the reconciliation bill passes with funding for 10,000 additional ICE personnel and tens of thousands more ICE beds, numbers will be "supercharged and shoot through the roof." As a debate about the bill continues in the Senate, the White House reaffirmed the bill's border and immigration-related provisions on Thursday. "Did you know The Big Beautiful Bill doubles ICE detention capacity, increases ICE personnel by 50%, finishes the border wall, and taxes money illegals send to their home country?" Deputy Assistant to the President and Principal Deputy Communications Director Alex Pfeiffer posted to X. "It's a once-in-a generation opportunity to crack down on illegal immigration," he continued. The ICE arrests come amid widespread policy changes by the Trump administration from the Biden-era. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem approved more waivers for border wall construction in Arizona and New Mexico this week, and the president instituted a travel ban on several countries following the anti-Semitic Boulder terrorist attack, in which the suspect overstayed his visa.

Trump says Elon Musk bromance may be over after attacks on tax bill
Trump says Elon Musk bromance may be over after attacks on tax bill 'Elon and I had a great relationship,' President Trump told reporters in the Oval Office on June 5. 'I don't know if we will anymore.' Show Caption Hide Caption 'Kill the bill': Musk urges lawmakers to stop Trump's tax cut bill Elon Musk blasted President Trump's new tax bill as a 'disgusting abomination,' urging millions of followers to lobby lawmakers to 'kill the bill.' WASHINGTON ― President Donald Trump said his close relationship with Elon Musk might be over after the world's richest man and former top White House adviser spent the past few days slamming the president's signature tax and policy bill. "Elon and I had a great relationship," Trump told reporters in the Oval Office on June 5. "I don't know if we will anymore." The president's comments triggered a war of words with Musk, who said Trump wouldn't have won a second term if it weren't for the quarter of a million dollars in campaign cash he pumped in his 2024 campaign. "Without me, Trump would have lost the election, Dems would control the House and the Republicans would be 51-49 in the Senate," Musk said in a post on X, the social media company he owns. "Such gratitude." Trump's remarks were his first since Musk called Trump's reconciliation bill "a disgusting abomination" and later urged his social media followers to lobby their representatives to "kill the bill." Musk has objected to the deficit implications with the legislation. "I'm very disappointed with Elon. I helped Elon a lot," Trump said during a lengthy response to a question from a reporter about Musk's criticism as the president sat next to German Chancellor Friedrich Merz for a bilateral meeting. Trump accused Musk of opposing the legislation because it would end a $7,500 consumer tax credit for buyers of electric vehicles, a policy of former President Joe Biden that has benefited electric car companies like Musk's Tesla. "Elon knew the inner workings of the bill better than anybody sitting here," Trump said. "He had no problem with it. All of a sudden he had a problem, and he only developed the problem when he found out we're going to cut EV mandate." Musk fires back at Trump: 'Whatever' More: Trump overpowers Musk's attacks on mega tax bill with blizzard of orders Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, fired back at Trump shortly after the president's comments. "Whatever," Musk said in a post on his social media platform X. "Keep the EV/solar incentive cuts in the bill, even though no oil & gas subsidies are touched (very unfair!!), but ditch the MOUNTAIN of DISGUSTING PORK in the bill." Musk added: "In the entire history of civilization, there has never been legislation that both big and beautiful. Everyone knows this!" He also disputed Trump's assertion that Musk was kept abreast of the bill's details. "False" Musk said. "This bill was never shown to me even once and was passed in the dead of night so fast that almost no one in Congress could even read it!" Musk left the White House last week after leading the government-slashing Department of Government Efficiency during the first four month's of Trump's second term. Although Musk first voiced criticism of Trump's bill before his exit, Trump had seemed to smooth things over when he welcomed him to the Oval Office for a friendly send-off news conference on May 30. "I'll be honest," Trump said six days later on June 5. "I think he misses the place. I think he got out there and all of a sudden he wasn't in this beautiful Oval Office." Musk, prior to his White House departure, asked for his special government employee status to be extended beyond 130 days to allow him to continue to lead DOGE, but the White House declined, a source told USA TODAY. Last weekend, Musk expressed disappointment after Trump withdrew his nominee for administrator of NASA, Jared Isaacman, a billionaire commercial astronaut with close ties to Musk.
