Few among America’s political elite manage to see as much success in the financial markets as Nancy Pelosi. The former House Speaker and current Representative of California’s 11th congressional district is an avid trader. It comes as no surprise that Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) is a part of her portfolio, which is generally quite tech-heavy.
While some point to the congresswoman’s premature sale of Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) as proof that she has lost her touch, NVDA shares have led to significant unrealized profits for her, per Finbold’s Congressional Trading Radar.

At the time of writing, Nvidia stock was trading at $144.54. Over the preceding thirty days, shares have been trading sideways in anticipation of the chipmaker’s Q3 2025 earnings report due November 20, with year-to-date (YTD) returns at 200.07%.
Pelosi traded Nvidia stock twice in 2024
Over the course of the year, Pelosi purchased Nvidia shares twice. The first transaction was made on June 26 — a point in time at which NVDA stock was trading at $126.40, and was disclosed on July 2. The second trade was a month later, on July 26, at a price of $113.06 apiece, and was made public on July 30.
While the public is not privy to exact amounts due to the nature of current disclosure regulations, in both instances, the representative purchased between $1,000,001 and $5,000,000 worth of Nvidia stock.
Since the first transaction, prices have increased by 14.35%. Accordingly, Pelosi’s gains on that trade are between $143,500 and $717,500. The second purchase was made at a more favorable price — shares are up 27.84% since July 26. The congresswoman could be up anywhere from $278,400 to $1,392,000 on her latter trade.
In total, unrealized gains on the two transactions could range anywhere from $421,900 at the low end to $2,109,500 — roughly 2.4 to 12 times her $174,000 annual salary as a member of the House of Representatives.
What’s more, those aren’t even her biggest positions — on November 21, 2023, she purchased 50 NVDA call options at a strike price of $120. The contracts have an expiration date of December 20, 2024 — and could easily bolster Pelosi’s returns by hundreds of thousands of dollars.
