Executive summary

Dr. Mehmet Oz’s 2022 campaign financial disclosures reported his holdings in UnitedHealth in a range that various outlets interpreted as roughly $280,000 to as much as $600,000 [1] [2], his largest single family healthcare stake in Sharecare listed in the multi‑million dollar bracket between roughly $5–26 million depending on the reporting formulation [1] [3], and an Amazon stake reported in some disclosures and analyses as anywhere from about $2.4 million up to roughly $25–26.7 million in the 2022 filing depending on how filings and subsequent estimates were read [4] [5].

1. UnitedHealth: dozens to hundreds of thousands, not a single exact figure

Multiple accounts of Oz’s 2022 disclosure show UnitedHealth reported only in a range rather than an exact dollar figure, with conservative reporting noting “at least $280,000” in UnitedHealth [1] while other contemporaneous reports and analyses cited maximums as high as $500,000 to $600,000 for UnitedHealth shares in the 2022 filing [6] [2]; the underlying public filings list assets in broad bands, so outlets extracted slightly different top‑end estimates from the same disclosure language [1] [7].

2. Sharecare: the single largest healthcare holding reported in the multi‑millions

Oz’s 2022 disclosure identified Sharecare — the digital health company he co‑founded — as his family’s largest healthcare holding, reported in a wide multi‑million range that outlets summarized as between roughly $5 million and $26 million [1] [3], with some reporting framing it as “up to $26 million” or “between $6 million and $26 million” depending on whether family‑held assets and the filing’s bracket labels were emphasized [8] [5].

3. Amazon: small‑to‑very‑large depending on interpretation of the banding

Reporting based on the same 2022 disclosure shows substantial variation for Amazon: some outlets extracted a figure described as “worth as much as nearly $2.4 million” from the disclosure [4] [9], while watchdog analyses and summaries reported much larger upper bounds from the disclosure’s top bands — commonly cited as “up to $25 million” or analyses estimating as high as $26.7 million for Amazon in 2022 [5] [3].

4. Why the numbers vary: asset banding, family holdings, and post‑filing changes

The discrepancies reflect the disclosure system itself: campaign and OGE‑style forms list asset values in broad bands rather than precise share counts or prices, and journalists and watchdog groups translated those bands into different rounded upper and lower estimates [1]; moreover, some reports aggregate Oz’s personal and family holdings or note ambiguity about subsequent sales, so variations in phrasing — “at least,” “up to,” or “between” — are reporting choices grounded in the same original 2022 filing language [8] [3].

5. Conflicting claims and open questions left by the public record

While multiple outlets agree on the general order of magnitude — UnitedHealth in the hundreds of thousands, Sharecare in the multi‑millions, and Amazon anywhere from low millions to mid‑tens of millions — the public filings do not provide a single precise dollar figure and do not resolve whether Oz or his family later sold or altered those holdings after 2022; reporting notes that Sharecare was taken private in a 2024 deal and that it is unclear whether Oz retained stakes, and some spokesperson statements claim divestment on certain assets while leaving others unresolved in public records [5] [3] [1].

6. Bottom line and limits of the available evidence

The 2022 disclosures list ranges rather than exact amounts: UnitedHealth is reported in filings and widely cited coverage as roughly $280,000 up to about $500,000–$600,000 [1] [2], Sharecare is reported as a multi‑million holding variously described between about $5 million and $26 million [1] [3], and Amazon is reported inconsistently as anywhere from roughly $2.4 million up to about $25–26.7 million depending on how the disclosure bands were interpreted [4] [5]; the underlying public filings and follow‑up reporting make these ranges transparent but do not yield a single definitive dollar figure for each asset [1].
