US Congress Salaries 2022: How Much Does Nancy Pelosi, Other Reps. Earn?

Members of the House of Representatives earn $174,000 per year.

Congressional leaders earn more since they have additional responsibilities. Among all the Congressional leaders, the Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, receives the highest pay.

When Pelosi became the speaker of the House, she didn't just make history. She also got a huge pay bump.

Pelosi now receives an annual salary of $223,500, according to the House Press Gallery. That amounts to a roughly $30,000 raise for Pelosi.

The House Majority and Minority Leaders earn $193,400 annually.

Due to the pay bump, Pelosi is now considered the third highest-paid elected official in the U.S. federal government after the President and Vice President.

Pelosi is currently worth at least $120 million, as per Celebrity Net Worth.

Aside from her congressional salary, Pelosi has accumulated wealth through various business ventures.

Pelosi’s husband Paul, whom she married in 1963, owns real estate and venture capital firm Financial Leasing Services.

Much of the couple’s money is reportedly tied up in the real estate, including commercial properties in San Francisco and Sacramento, the Auberge du Soleil resort in Napa Valley, and a home and vineyard in Napa from which they earn up to $1 million annually from grape sales.

The Pelosis also own large stakes in companies, including Facebook, Apple, Comcast, Shutterfly and the Walt Disney Co.

In 2018, Pelosi was named the sixth wealthiest member of Congress by OpenSecrets. At that time, she had an estimated net worth of $115 million.
