In 2024, Rep. Nancy Pelosi quietly posted a 54% return on her stock portfolio — outperforming the most sophisticated hedge funds on the planet. There was no press tour for this massive achievement, and no hedge fund title; just a government salary and a set of disclosures that, to the trained eye, look a lot like market timing.
Pelosi’s reported salary is around $223,000. But her net worth stands at over $264 million, making her the richest woman in Congress. And she’s not the only one turning their political seat into a portfolio advantage.
