Pelosi and her husband Paul Pelosi have several investments, which explains their massive net worth. Paul Pelosi owns Financial Leaving Services, which is a real estate and consulting firm.

Because of her massive fortune, a report from FOX Business ranks her the 6th richest member of the Congress. The cash king among members of the Congress is Florida Republican Senator Rick Scott, who has an estimated fortune of $259 million.

The 80-year-old was involved in a controversy recently as a video showing her entering a hair salon without a mask has been made public. Critics of the House Speaker quickly attacked her, especially Donald Trump who said that Pelosi has “lectured” everyone to wear a mask at all times but she could not follow it herself.

The Guardian reports Pelosi reasoned that it was a setup and she felt sorry that she fell for it. Experts are saying the attacks are made to distract the public about Joe Biden having the slight advantage over Trump in initial poll results.
