Pelosi earned more than $130 million in stock profits, return of 16,930%, during time in Congress: report

Nancy Pelosi and her husband earned nearly 17,000% returns on stocks over 37 years, with 2024 gains of 54%, surpassing major market indexes, amid calls for trading bans.

  • This past week, Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., announced her retirement after she and Paul Pelosi turned early stock holdings into more than $130 million over 37 years for a nearly 17,000% return.
  • When Pelosi first entered Congress in 1987, she and her husband held between $610,000 and $785,000 in stocks, and Quiver Quantitative now values their portfolio at $133.7 million with net worth near $280 million.
  • Pelosi’s latest financial disclosure lists roughly two dozen individual stock holdings including Apple, NVIDIA, Palo Alto Networks, Salesforce and Netflix, with Apple valued between $25 million and $50 million and 2024 gains of 54%.
  • Pelosi’s exit comes as Congress again weighs banning members and their spouses from trading individual stocks, which advocates say would prevent profiting on nonpublic information and Republican critics say underscores the need for tougher ethics laws.
  • One notable late 2023 trade reportedly cost about $2.4 million to exercise 50,000 NVIDIA shares at $12 each, creating paper profits of more than $7 million, and Dan Weiskopf described the trades as `high conviction and aggressive` while Pelosi denied her husband traded on her information.
