She is also allowed to keep two properties in Mexico and a 2016 Range Rover, along with all furniture, artwork, and jewelry in her possession.

In a previous attempt in 2018, he finished third in the race behind Gavin Newsom and John Cox. Prior to entering politics, Villaraigosa had a diverse career working as a consultant for various businesses, including Herbalife, Banc of California, Cadiz, Edelman, and AltaMed. He also began teaching at the USC Price School of Public Policy after leaving City Hall in 2013. Villaraigosa's history with name changes is notable.

After filing for divorce in 2022, the case was dismissed the following year. He refiled in January 2024 and requested that neither party receive spousal support.
