Here's How Nancy Pelosi Beat the Stock Market and Warren Buffett
"From 2019 through 2024, Pelosi's disclosed trades (executed by her husband and venture capitalist Paul Pelosi) crushed the market by more than 3-to-1. A widely cited analysis by Unusual Whales showed her portfolio gained roughly 65% in 2023 alone when the S&P 500 rose 24%. In 2024 the gap widened again to +71% versus the market's +25% return. According to The New York Post , Pelosi's record during her 37-year tenure in Congress served up cumulative returns of 16,930% compared to just 2,300% by the index."
"When Pelosi entered the House in 1987, her net worth was an estimated $2 million to $3 million; today it stands between $250 million and $280 million, a more than 9,000% gain over nearly four decades. With a little more than a year to go before she officially steps down, there is plenty of time to pad her lead. But how does a congresswoman earning $174,000 a year ($223,000 when she was Speaker) amass such wealth from the stock market?"
Nancy Pelosi's disclosed trades, executed by her husband Paul Pelosi, substantially outperformed the S&P 500 from 2019–2024, reportedly by more than 3-to-1. Analyses showed roughly 65% gain in 2023 versus the S&P's 24%, and a 71% gain in 2024 versus the market's 25%. Cumulative returns across a 37-year tenure reached reported figures near 16,930% compared with 2,300% for the index. Net worth allegedly grew from approximately $2–3 million in 1987 to $250–280 million today. Major early bets concentrated on Apple, Amazon, Alphabet and Netflix, followed by a pivot toward AI and momentum-driven timing tied to congressional action.
