Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her husband, venture capitalist Paul Pelosi, reported significant financial gains in 2024, with newly released disclosures estimating their net worth increase between $7.8 million and $42.5 million. Their total fortune is now believed to be as high as $413 million.
The couple’s investments produced an impressive 54% return for the year, more than double the S&P 500’s performance and outpacing many of the nation’s leading hedge funds. Several key stock trades under Paul Pelosi’s name contributed to these gains, including timely sales and purchases ahead of major legal or regulatory developments.
Notable moves included the sale of $2.2 million in Microsoft shares prior to a federal probe, the unloading of $525,000 in Visa stock just before a Justice Department lawsuit, and a successful NVIDIA trade that transformed a $1.8 million call option into over $7.2 million in profit. Additional investments in companies like Palo Alto Networks and Tempus AI also paid off following industry developments.
Beyond the stock market, the Pelosi portfolio continues to benefit from real estate, vineyards, and hospitality ventures. Their financial strategy has placed them among the most successful investors on Capitol Hill.
