Court Nominee Alito Holdings Top $615,000 WASHINGTON (AP) -
Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito has more than $615,000 in assets, including stock in Exxon Mobil Corp. worth more than $100,000, according to his 2004 financial disclosure statement.

Alito received the Exxon-Mobil stock, which could be worth as much as $250,000, as a bequest in May 2004. His disclosure form did not provide the source of the bequest, and the White House did not immediately respond to a request for more information.

While the Exxon-Mobil stock was his largest holding in 2004, Alito also owned stock worth $15,000 and $50,000 each in fast-food giant McDonalds and Intel, the computer chip maker; and stock worth less than $15,000 each in drug-maker Bristol Myers Sqibb and Disney.

Both the Bristol Myers Sqibb stock and the McDonalds were listed as gifts on Alito's 2003 disclosure form.

1. How come no one ever gave me $15,000 of stock for my birthday?
