Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is not only married to one of the best stock-pickers in the world — turns out she and husband Paul are super savvy real-estate investors as well.
Though sometimes they need a soupçon of help.
The Pelosis own part of the Auberge de Soleil, a tony hotel in California’s swanky Napa Valley, whose rooms command prices as high as $2,000 a night and attract an A-list crowd.
For all the cachet such an investment might provide, it underperformed for years for the Frisco power couple (per Pelosi’s own disclosure filings).
That must have been disappointing, as other Pelosi family investments — including in industries Congress actively regulates — have a habit of doing extremely well.
So well that they’ve spawned X feeds and apps meant to mimic their success.
And accusations that the Pelosis benefit from the copious relevant nonpublic info Nancy, as a long-serving legislator, has access to.
Don’t forget that the hospitality industry is a notoriously tricky one to make big scores in, especially when a sector-wide devastator like COVID comes around.
Worry not: This plucky pair of mom-and-pop financiers managed to make good!
COVID relief monies — to the tune of $9 million — got channeled to the Auberge in 2020 and 2021, and Pelosi family income from the hotel investment surged to between $1 million and $5 million in 2021.
We’re sure the fact that Nancy owned a big chunk of a hotel played no role in driving her staunch advocacy of trillion-dollar handouts, just like the piece of a restaurant chain she also owns, which delivered mediocre returns until it was blessed with COVID money.

Politics is the selling of political power.
Sound ridiculous? What is the job of a lobbyist?
What is illegal and unethical, what gets a low and mid level buerocrat fired for corruption and unethical conduct is normal MO for the politician and political appointee.
The US is at the political top just as corrupt as the worst bannana republic. What makes us different is that at the low and mid levels you have relatively low corruption, unlike most of the rest of the world (example Mexico).
The average average FBI agent, background checks, polygraph, financial monitoring, movement monitoring, random communications being monitored, with a video camera recording, a partner he might not know well, recorded radio and interviews, is afraid to accept a $25 lunch as this could be an “ethics violation,” but his most senior bosses like Comey, Wray, Holder, Lynch, Obama, Biden...
When I wore diapers, my mother read Barron’s and I suspect the WSJ for investment ideas.
My father would then talk things over with my mom and then make investments.
People like Paul Pelosi talk within their circles about stocks. Then they place their bets. The Pelosis prefer options I believe.
There’s a reason why Pacific Heights and Upper East Side real estate is extraordinarily expensive. Residents spend an extraordinary amount of time researching investments.
Honestly, if you invested in practically ANY asset over the past 10 years - gold, stocks, crypto, property - you made an absolute killing. Best period of time since 1995-2000, but much, much bigger.
Yeah right.
Insider trading is such a skill.
Look at pictures of Trump and his eyes.
He studied something a great deal, probably NYC real estate listings.
She’s one of the lucky ones. Her descendants, hell ours, when come hell to pay happens, it’ll be just that.

The San Francisco investing class knows the publicly available signs to look for.

She is 84. In a short while her net worth will be zero.
One of the reasons why the 17th Amendment has resulted in terrible results for America is because it’s eliminated the power of watchdogs in Sacramento, Austin, Talahassee, Harrisburg, Springfield, Columbus, Lansing, Atlanta, Raleigh, Trenton, Richmond, Boston, Phoenix, Olympia, Nashville, Madison, Indianapolis, Frankfort, Denver, Jefferson City, and other places on providing a strong check/balance on this type of corruption. We almost saw a 8 billion slush fund approved for doing a 500 million inflation-adjusted project to replace the Key bridge. We have to stop this nonsense.
ITS COMING
Plus investment in Bud Light stock.
Rooms $2,000 a night?
The divide between those with big money, and those little money seems to be massive and ever expanding..
After President Trump won in 2016, El Rush-Bo was pointing out the advanced age of the so-called democRAT bench. It is now eight years later. Pelousy, Chuck U Schumer, etc are hanging on, trying to grift as much as possible.
One of the joys of all this is the ‘younger’ democRATS are represented by the likes of Ocrazio-Cortex. While the radical left will promote her, most of America will say something akin to: don’t go away mad, just go away.
Look at Biden, the guy isn't even subtle about it.
