Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and her husband Paul Pelosi have earned more than $130 million in stock profits over the course of her congressional career, according to a recent report. This represents a staggering return of 16,930% over nearly four decades of representing California, the New York Post reported.
The announcement comes as Pelosi, 85, revealed this week that she will not be seeking re-election after completing her current term in 2027. Fox News Digital has reached out to Pelosi’s office for comment.
Before entering office in 1987, Pelosi and her husband reported holding between $610,000 and $785,000 in stocks, according to a financial disclosure form cited by the Post. Their portfolio included shares in Citibank and other companies that are no longer publicly traded.
Over time, the value of that portfolio has skyrocketed to an estimated $133.7 million today, per estimates from Quiver Quantitative cited by the Post. The reported profit of 16,930% far exceeds the 2,300% growth seen in the Dow Jones Industrial Average during the same time period.
Currently, the Pelosis’ net worth is estimated to be around $280 million, the New York Post added.
Pelosi made her retirement announcement on Thursday, stating, “There has been no greater honor for me than to stand on the House floor and say, ‘I speak for the people of San Francisco.’ I have truly loved serving as your voice in Congress, and I’ve always honored the soul of San Francisco — ‘Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace,’ the anthem of our city.”
She continued, “That is why I want you, my fellow San Franciscans, to be the first to know I will not be seeking re-election to Congress. With a grateful heart, I look forward to my final year of service as your proud representative as we go forward.”
