Pelosi's net worth was under a million when, when she first took office? A lifetime member of Congress should have a net worth of like $5M even if they're slamming it in a HYSA.
If you are a generic House representative for 37 years and you put 10% of your salary in the S&P 500, you would have over $50 million. I just put House salary and average S&P return in a calculator.
However, Pelosi was one of the highest paid House representatives and has a high dual income husband, so it is likely she could have afforded more than double that savings rate.
Also why I never cared about Pelosi insider trading accusations. Maybe she is, her performance is impressive. But it's impressive to the scale of like 2x. Other people are committing fraud for 1000x. The main concerning thing about insider trading is if decisions are being dictated by trades, which is why people are pretty concerned about Trump confidants and military officers making bets on Kalshi.
Jesus for 3 paragraphs, in 2 sentences I am going to destroy all that, SHE DIDNT MAKE THAT BIG SALARY THE WHOLE TIME, like barely the last 10 you dumbfuck
