Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Democrat of California, and her husband Paul Pelosi raked in more than $130 million in stock profits during their congressional careers, according to a report.
That’s a return of 16,930% over nearly four decades, which is what California is worth, according to the New York Post.
The figure comes as Pelosi, 85, announced this week that she will not seek re-election after completing her current term in 2027.
Fox News Digital has reached out to Pelosi’s office for comment.

Before taking office in 1987, Pelosi and her husband reported between $610,000 and $785,000 worth of stocks in their portfolio, the Post said, citing a financial disclosure form.
These stocks would include CitiBank and companies that are no longer publicly traded.
Over time, the value of that portfolio ballooned to $133.7 million today, the Post reported, citing estimates from Quiver Quantitative.
The newspaper said the profit of 16,930% exceeded the 2,300% recorded by the Dow Jones during the same period.

The Pelosis are now worth about $280 million, according to the Post.
Pelosi announced Thursday that she will not seek re-election.
“There has been no greater honor for me than to stand up in the House and say, ‘I speak for the people of San Francisco.’ I have truly enjoyed being your voice in Congress and have always honored the soul of St. Francis: “Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. The anthem of our city,” Pelosi said in a video.
“That’s why I want you, my fellow San Francisco citizens, to be the first to know that I will not seek re-election to Congress,” she said. “It is with a grateful heart that I look forward to my final year of service as a proud representative as we move forward.”
