Democratic presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg<\/a> will not be required to disclose his personal finances until after the Iowa<\/a> caucuses, thanks to an extension granted this week by the Federal Election Commission. <\/p>\n

Bloomberg, the former mayor of New York City<\/a> who sits atop a multibillion-dollar business empire, is by far the wealthiest of the Democratic contenders<\/a> for president. <\/p>\n

Presidential candidates are required to reveal their investments, businesses and streams of income. Only Bloomberg, fellow billionaire Tom Steyer<\/a> and former Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick<\/a> \u2013 each of whom was late\u00a0entering the race \u2013 have yet to do so. <\/p>\n

Despite his late entry, Bloomberg has been laying the groundwork for a campaign for months. Since entering the race last month, his campaign has flooded primary states with over $100 million worth of radio and TV ads. But his attorneys say he is not ready to disclose his finances. <\/p>\n

“Mr. Bloomberg requires additional time to collect information regarding complex holdings and prepare and file his report,” attorney Lawrence H. Norton wrote in a letter to the FEC on Friday. <\/p>\n

The FEC on Monday granted his request, giving him until Feb. 4 to file \u2014 one day after the Iowa caucuses. <\/p>\n

Bloomberg has said he is not competing in the first few presidential contests in states including Iowa and New Hampshire. Instead, he’s waiting for March’s Super Tuesday, when over a dozen states will hold contests, to make a play for voters. <\/p>\n
