Pelosi raked in millions last year, outperforming large hedge funds

Rep. Nancy Pelosi has seen a significant increase in her and her husband Paul Pelosi's net worth, now estimated between $7.8 million and $42.5 million in 2024. This may raise their total net worth to approximately $413 million. The couple's wealth has largely come from stock investments, including a notable sale of Microsoft shares shortly before an antitrust investigation and a profitable investment in NVIDIA shares.

Despite a set-back with Tesla shares, their portfolio achieved a remarkable 54% return in 2024, outperforming the S&P 500's 25% gain. Calls for Congress to ban members from trading stocks have intensified, but Pelosi previously resisted such proposals, saying, “we’re a free market economy.”
