Nancy Pelosi, one of the most influential figures in US politics and among the wealthiest members of Congress, has made a notable financial move just weeks before announcing her retirement. The House Speaker revealed she will not seek re-election at the end of her term in January 2027, concluding a decades-long career.
Countless investors have scrutinized Pelosi's stock market trades, given that her portfolio—managed by her husband, Paul, an investment banker—has surged over 800% in the past decade, pushing her net worth beyond $278 million (£211.7 million). Following her retirement announcement on Thursday, her ability to disclose and track her trades will soon end, as she plans to step back from public life.
