U.S. Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has managed to do it again.

The New York Post reports that last year, the former House speaker and her husband managed to make millions upon millions from the stock market.

In the process, she managed to outperform just about every hedge fund out there, which has many wondering whether Pelosi is some kind of stock market genius, or whether her unusual success might have a more sinister cause.

This is sickening. Nancy Pelosi raked in millions last year — and her portfolio out-performed every large hedge fund with stunning returns. And by millions, we mean as much as $42million. 👿 https://t.co/MZmfI0lAH1

The details

According to the Post, Pelosi may have made anywhere in between about $8 million and $43 million from the stock mark in 2024.

Per the outlet:

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.

The Post goes on to explain that the reason why it can't give a more precise figure for Pelosi's net worth is that "lawmakers are only required to disclose ranges."

Either way, Pelosi is clearly making staggering sums from the stock market, and the big question is whether Pelosi might be using information that she is privy to as a member of Congress to her advantage.

It ought to be noted that all of the trading that she does is in her husband's name.

A Coincidence?

Pelosi is one of the chief examples of why there have been serious calls for a ban on members of Congress - and their family members - trading stocks.

Leading the way here is U.S. Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO). He has even introduced a piece of legislation bearing Pelosi's name - the Preventing Elected Leaders from Owning Securities and Investments (PELOSI) Act.

Hawley has argued that Pelosi's success with the stock market is simply too good to be true.

Hawley recently said:

And here’s the thing, Nancy Pelosi and her husband last year, in 2024, beat every hedge fund in the nation, practically. So, either Nancy Pelosi is a mathematical and financial analyst genius… or maybe, maybe the information that she’s privy to turns out to be pretty darn valuable.

"And everybody knows it’s the second thing. It’s just outrageous," he added.
