She might be the She-Wolf of Wall Street.
Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-California) raked in between $7.8 and $42.5 million
in 2024 — meaning her estimated net worth with venture capitalist hubby
Paul Pelosi could now top out at $413 million, new financial disclosures showed.
The staggering sum is an eye-popping jump from 2023, when financial
disclosures showed the couple’s net worth topping out at a possible $370 million.
Pelosi’s exact net worth is not known because lawmakers are only required
to disclose ranges.
Market research firm Quiver Quantitative, which estimates a single figure
based on daily stock values it tracks, placed the pair’s 2024 worth at
$257 million — up $26 million from a year earlier.
But the value of their various other ventures — which include but are not limited to a Napa Valley winery, ownership in a political data and
consulting firm and a stake in a Bay area Italian restaurant — mean
Pelosi’s worth could be far higher in the estimated range.
A large chunk of the couple’s fortune has come from a sizable stock
portfolio and timely trades, all done in Paul Pelosi’s name.
The former House Speaker, who’s so infamous for trading Missouri Rep. Josh Hawley named a bill after her, and her husband dumped 5,000 shares of
Microsoft stock worth an estimated $2.2 million in July — one of their
largest sales in three years — a few short months before the FTC announced
an antitrust investigation into the tech giant.
They also sold 2,000 shares — worth an estimated $525,000 — of Visa stock,
less than three months before the credit card company was hit with a DOJ monopoly lawsuit.
Their best trade though might have been exercising a call option in
December they bought in late 2023 at an estimated premium of $1.8 million, allowing them to nab 50,000 shares of hot AI chip stock NVIDIA for $12 a
pop — less than one tenth of its market price.
In total the couple paid an estimated $2.4 million for the investment,
which on paper is now worth more than $7.2 million.
NVIDIA wasn’t their only AI play of 2024.
The couple also paid between $600,000 and $1.25 million for a call option
on California cybersecurity company Palo Alto Networks in February, the
same week it was revealed the White House briefed lawmakers on a serious national security threat related to Russia.
The shares rose close to 20% in the days after the move.
The option allowed the pair to scoop up 14,000 shares of Palo Alto in
December at a $100 strike price — half its trading value. The company has
been crushing earnings over the past year and the investment is now worth around $2.8 million.
But the Queen of Stocks did suffer one setback — when she and Paul Pelosi ditched 2,500 shares of former Department of Government Efficiency boss
Elon Musk’s Tesla in June, losing somewhere between $100,000 and $1
million on the trade.
In all, their investment portfolio pulled in an estimated 54% return in
2024, more than double the S&P 500’s 25% gain — and beating every large
hedge fund, according to numbers in Bloomberg’s end-of-year tally of hedge funds’ returns.
The formidable profits come amid growing calls to ban Congress from
trading individual stocks, arguing lawmakers have access to market-moving information ahead of the public.
Pelosi in the past rejected calls for a ban, stating “we’re a free-market economy.”
She has since softened her stance in the face of growing criticism. When
asked in May whether Congress should pass a trading ban, she replied, “If
they do, they do.”
“Speaker Pelosi does not own any stocks, and she has no prior knowledge or subsequent involvement in any transactions,” a spokesperson told The Post.
The couple is already off to a rocking 2025.
In January, they bought call options for then-little-known artificial intelligence health firm, Tempus AI, which has since inked a $200 million
deal with AstraZeneca and doubled its stock price.
The couple also took out call options for energy company Vistra — whose
stock climbed last month after it unveiled a massive $1.9 billion deal to acquire natural gas facilities across the country from a private equity
firm, citing rising US power demand.

November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump. We look
forward to America being great again.
We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that
stupid people won't be offended.
Every day is an IQ test. Some pass, some, not so much.
Thank you for cleaning up the disasters of the 2008-2017, 2020-2024 Obama
/ Biden / Harris fiascos, President Trump.
Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood
queer liberal democrat donors.
