Additionally, Pelosi has significant exposure to the semiconductor industry, particularly through Nvidia, a company that has seen substantial growth due to demand for AI-related chips.
Stock Transactions and Options Trading
Pelosi’s disclosure also details multiple stock sales and options trades conducted in 2023. Some of the most notable transactions include:
- Sale of 50,000 shares of Nvidia in July 2023, valued between $1 million and $5 million, following congressional discussions on semiconductor policy.
- Purchase of call options in Apple and Microsoft, allowing her to buy shares at a predetermined price in the future.
- Sale of Tesla shares amid fluctuating electric vehicle market conditions.
Real Estate and Private Investments
Beyond stock holdings, Pelosi and her husband own multiple high-value real estate properties, with estimated values in the millions. These include:
- A vineyard in Napa Valley, California – Valued between $5 million and $25 million
- Commercial property in San Francisco – Valued between $1 million and $5 million
- Residential real estate in California and Washington, D.C. – Combined value between $5 million and $25 million
Additionally, the Pelosis have investments in venture capital and private equity funds, with stakes in various investment partnerships and hedge funds.
Ethics and Scrutiny
Pelosi’s financial activity has long drawn scrutiny, particularly her investments in companies affected by congressional legislation. Critics argue that lawmakers should not be allowed to trade individual stocks, citing potential conflicts of interest. Pelosi, however, has repeatedly denied involvement in her husband’s trades, stating that her investments are managed independently.
In 2022, Pelosi initially opposed calls for a congressional stock trading ban but later signaled support for a bipartisan effort to tighten restrictions. However, no major legislation has passed on the issue.
