🚨EX-USAID CHIEF SAMANTHA POWER’S NET WORTH SKYROCKETS—FROM $6.7M TO $30M ON A $180K SALARY

Samantha Power, Biden’s ex-USAID chief, saw her wealth explode while earning just $180K per year.

Where did the extra $23.3M come from? And all of this in just 3 years! USAID oversees billions in global funding—was she cashing in?

The public deserves answers. Follow the money.

@elonmusk Replying to @amuse How did she accumulate wealth that is 100 times her after tax salary?

Not a bad gig if you can get it. Her husband, Cass Sunstein, is still teaching at Harvard, so I don't think we can attribute much of the wealth increase to him.

Power must be on the Pelosi Stocktracker plan.

Samantha Power, former Director of NSAID under Biden was raking in the money over the past few years.

All while we were tightening our belts as we dealt with inflation. No wonder the Democrats and media were all saying inflation wasn't a problem. The more inflation, the more tax dollars funneled to them via taxes.

These people don't deserve to be fired. They deserve prison.

And I want every da*n dollar paid in taxes refunded. ASAP.

Her husband wrote best-selling books on how to censor the peons for their own good—that must be it.

Lol.

The circling of the wagons by the media is evidence (to me) that more publications than already revealed were getting funds through USAID. The disbursements are just hidden a little better.

For instance the WSJ is now a rag newspaper and no longer worthy of reading. Their business and financial reporting can’t be trusted since everything is presented through the progressive anti-Trump/Musk/conservative lens.

Biden Nominates Former Obama Official, Unmasker Samantha Power as USAID Administrator
Breitbart ^ | January 13 2021 | KRISTINA WONG
Posted on 1/14/2021, 2:58:49 AM by knighthawk

President-elect Joe Biden announced Tuesday he was nominating Samantha Power, a former Obama administration official and key unmasker of Trump campaign staffers, to a top position in his incoming administration.

“Ambassador Samantha Power is a world-renowned voice of conscience and moral clarity — challenging and rallying the international community to stand up for the dignity and humanity of all people,” Biden said in a statement. “As USAID Administrator, she’ll be a powerful force for principled American engagement.”

The net worth of public officials can be tough to learn. While I hate these public "official" crooks as much as you, we don't really know her net worth in 2025.

What doesn't make sense is that her last financial disclosure form was in apparently in early 2021 and it showed her net worth was $6.7 million to $16.5 million (the government forms always provide a wide net worth range like that which is infuriating).

High-level officials (Powers is certainly that) including members of the Senior Executive Service, certain high-ranking employees, and political appointees, must file an ANNUAL public financial disclosure report (OGE Form 278e). The deadline for these reports is typically May 15 of each year, though extensions can be granted up to 90 days.

So where are her reports for 2022 and 2023? Why are these missing?

Upon leaving their position, both public and confidential filers must submit a final financial disclosure report within 30 days of termination. This ensures transparency regarding any changes in financial status at the end of their service.

Public filers must also file PTRs (OGE Form 278-T) for certain financial transactions exceeding $1,000 within 45 days of the transaction or notification of the transaction, whichever is later. This includes transactions like stock trades by the filer, their spouse, or dependent children.

These requirements are part of the Ethics in Government Act.

Here is a link to the S. Powers 2021 OGE Form 278-T.

Yes it’s right at the top of the page.

Sounds like a reasonable request for an IRS audit.
