Total assets of ousted prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra declared after he was ousted showed that he has Bt557.3 million, while his wife, Khunying Pojamarn has Bt8.84 billion, according to National Corruption Committee on Monday.

Thaksin and his cabinet were ousted by the military on September 19.
