From the New York Post: Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her husband made at least $130 million in stock profits over the course of the California Democrat’s 37 years in Congress — a staggering return of 16,930%.
Pelosi, 85, announced this week she will retire when her term ends in January 2027.
The San Francisco pol became famous as the first woman to wield the speaker’s gavel, and infamous for her exceptional stock market returns.
Before first taking Congressional office in 1987, the then-47-year-old freshman and her hubby, venture capitalist Paul Pelosi, reported between $610,000 and $785,000 in stocks in their portfolio, according to a copy of her “hand delivered” 1987 financial disclosure form.
Today, the couple’s portfolio has soared to $133.7 million, the report reveals.
In fact, Pelosi and her hubby have gotten a far better return than the stock exchanges. The Post shared a comparison: “That represents an eye-watering profit of 16,930% — compared to 2,300% for the Dow Jones over those years.”
The Pelosis had a net worth of about $3 million when she first joined Congress. Today, they are worth an estimated $280 million, including their stakes in multiple other business ventures, including a Napa Valley winery, a Bay area Italian restaurant, commercial real estate and a political data and consulting firm.
