According to his official asset declaration, the senior officer’s family holds substantial cash savings and several land plots, though they own no residential real estate in Volyn.

Roman Yarovyi’s appointment was confirmed via official records alongside his newly submitted financial disclosure.

Their daughter, Arina, a student at the Yaroslav Mudryi National Law University, declared a 24,000 UAH student stipend and nearly 7,000 UAH in land lease income.
Under joint spousal ownership, the Yarovyi family holds significant liquid assets:
$61,000 USD and 50,000 UAH in cash;
51,000 UAH held in bank accounts.

In January 2022, two additional 1.75-hectare plots in the same village were registered under his wife and daughter (value listed as «unknown» in the declaration).
