Washington ( CNN ) -- From five continents to nearly three dozen states , the justices of the Supreme Court remain busy travelers , and relatively well off financially . Eight of the nine members of the high court released their annual financial disclosure forms Wednesday , showing book income for Justices Antonin Scalia and Stephen Breyer , and some unusual gifts to Justice Sonia Sotomayor . Sotomayor reported two gifts from friends : fine china worth $ 1,400 and a `` translucent composite print '' from artist Robert Weingarten . `` During 2011 many people sent me gifts of books , art , jewelry and trinkets , '' explained Sotomayor in her form . `` I have no reason to believe that any of those items exceeded the $ 335 limit '' requiring separate , itemized reporting of their value . The justice , named to the bench in 2010 , also was the only one to list a liability -- minor credit card debt . All federal judges are required to list on annual financial disclosure forms any out-of-town travel for speeches and other appearances that was paid for by private groups . Judges are required to release only ranges of investment income , including stocks , not the exact value . Breyer and Scalia , as usual , ran neck-and-neck in the category of most-traveled justice , with Breyer gaining the edge with 21 out-of-town destinations on expense-paid business trips . He went to Canada , the United Kingdom and France in addition to states such as Florida , Arkansas , and Colorado . He was among at least six justices to travel to California . Scalia was among them , attending a seminar last year of the Federalist Society , a conservative legal group . The 76-year-old justice also jetted to seven countries , including Australia , Switzerland and Ireland . Sotomayor visited El Salvador , while Justices Clarence Thomas and Elena Kagan went to Argentina , along with the retired Sandra Day O'Connor , for an international legal conference . Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Anthony Kennedy conducted their separate annual summer teaching stints in Italy and Austria . Eight justices reported teaching income from universities , including lectures , which generally earned them about $ 15,000 for one or more days of extracurricular work . Most such stints occur during the court 's three-month recess , scheduled this year to begin late next week , when the last of the session 's rulings will be issued , including the much-anticipated health care decisions . Justice Samuel Alito did not submit his disclosure form on time , and asked for an extension into August . Thomas noted his wife , Virginia , had 2011 non-investment income as a columnist at the Daily Caller website , and at Liberty Consulting , a conservative advocacy group founded by her . The specific amount of income did not have to be listed . Twenty Democratic lawmakers last October formally asked the Justice Department to investigate the justice 's appearances before conservative groups and his failure over the years to publicly disclose about $ 700,000 of his wife 's income , as required under federal law . Thomas updated the income on an amended disclosure form , and said the lapse was inadvertent . Scalia reported $ 18,755 in book income , including for a new legal treatise out this month called `` Reading Law . '' Breyer 's 2010 book , `` Making Democracy Work : A Judge 's View '' earned him more than $ 45,000 in royalties last year .
Justices Stevens and Scalia ran neck - and - neck in the category of most - traveled justice . Justices Scalia and Breyer reported income from car sales . Justice Stevens reported a collection of fine china worth $ 500 . Justice Alito did not submit his disclosure form on time , and asked for an extension .
