Pelosi has funneled insider information to her husband for decades, who in turn generated tens of millions in personal income he otherwise never would have been able to earn.
Representatives and Senators routinely earn millions of dollars using their inside information about upcoming laws and bills.
They use this information to buy, sell and short stocks of companies affected by their laws and bills.
Thousands of Americans have gone to jail and/or paid huge fines for insider trading.
Yet hundreds of members of Congress have become multi-millionaires through insider trading – with full impunity and zero oversight.
- As Speaker of the House, Pelosi earned $223,500 annually and now earns $174,000 a year as a member of Congress.
- Stocks in Pelosi’s portfolio include shares of Apple valued at between $25 million and $50 million, and stocks in Microsoft, Salesforce, Google, and Amazon, with each holding worth between $5 million and $25 million.
Pelosi is a Democratic congresswoman representing California’s 11th Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Pelosi was the first woman to become Speaker of the House of Representatives, a position she served in from 2007 to 2011, and again from 2019 to 2023. Pelosi also became the first woman to lead a major party in Congress when she was elected minority leader from 2003 to 2007 and again from 2011 to 2019.
Pelosi, along with her husband, venture capitalist Paul Pelosi, has an estimated net worth of more than $240 million as of late July, based on price movement of stocks in her portfolio as calculated by alternative stock data platform Quiver Quantitative.
