WASHINGTON (AP) – A new financial report from GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney shows that his wealth remains near $250 million, about the same as last year.

Romney’s campaign said his assets ranged between $190 million and $250 million, and a tally by The Associated Press confirmed this. The new financial report from Romney describes sales of a large amount of stocks managed through his blind trust. Romney campaign spokeswoman Andrea Saul stressed that the trust manages investments for Romney and his wife, Ann.

The new report shows that Romney still made millions of dollars over the past year in lucrative bank notes and investment funds, including nearly 40 different funds associated with his former company, Bain Capital.
