Nancy Pelosi outperforms major hedge funds with jaw-dropping gains in 2024, leaves Wall Street pros in the dust
Nancy Pelosi, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-California), and her spouse, Paul Pelosi, have been making some quiet waves on Wall Street and have accumulated investment gains that outperform every large hedge fund and the S&P 500, as per a report. Nancy Pelosi and Husband's Net Worth New financial filings disclose that the pair's net value rose to about $413 million in 22024 from $370 million in 2023, as per the New York Post. While legislators are required to disclose only net worth ranges, a market research company such as Quiver Quantitative estimated that the Pelosi portfolio is at about $257 million based on daily stock values it tracks, which is a $26 million jump from 2023, according to the report. Diverse Business Ventures Add to Fortune However, the couple's net worth would be much higher than that because of their other ventures, which include but are not limited to a Napa Valley winery, ownership in a political data and consulting firm and a stake in a Bay area Italian restaurant, reported the New York Post.

Bloomberg reported that the couple's investment portfolio has gained an estimated 54% return in 2024, which is more than double the S&P 500's 25% gain, and also beating every large hedge fund. A spokesperson told, 'Speaker Pelosi does not own any stocks, and she has no prior knowledge or subsequent involvement in any transactions,' quoted the New York Post. Early 2025 Moves Signal More Gains The couple also started off 2025 with a good start as they bought call options in January for the then-little-known artificial intelligence health firm, Tempus AI, which has since inked a $200 million deal with AstraZeneca and doubled its stock price, reported New York Post. Nancy and Paul also took out call options for energy company Vistra, whose stock rose last month after it announced a $1.9 billion deal to acquire natural gas facilities across the country from a private equity firm, as per the report. FAQs How much did Nancy and Paul Pelosi make in 2024? They added between $7.8 million and $42.5 million to their net worth last year, as per New York Post.

Aviation regulator DGCA starts audit at Air Indias main base in Gurugram
Mumbai, Jun 23 (PTI) Aviation regulator DGCA on Monday commenced the detailed audit at Air India's main base in Gurugram that will cover operations, flight scheduling, rostering and various other areas, according to a source. The Tata Group-owned airline has come under intense scrutiny after its London-bound Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner plane crashed soon after take-off in Ahmedabad on June 12, killing 270 people, including 241 people onboard. An eight-member team from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has started the annual audit of Air India's main base. Generally, a three-member team carries out the yearly audit, the source said. "DGCA has started the audit at Air India's main base at Gurugram. The annual exercise will cover all aspects, including operations, flight planning, scheduling, rostering and IOCC (Integrated Operations Control Centre)," the source said. Air India is headquartered in Gurugam, Haryana. The audit exercise also comes at a time when the regulator has taken action against some Air India officials for repeated safety lapses. On June 21, DGCA sought details on the airline's planned and unplanned inspections, audit, cockpit/en route, station facility, ramp and cabin inspection, among others, from its flight operations inspectors since 2024. The communication was sent out a day after the regulator issued a show-cause notice to the airline for Flight Duty Time Limitation (FDTL) violation and also ordered the removal of the airline's three senior officials from their respective roles for certain lapses. Meanwhile, DGCA has also put in place a new framework for comprehensive special audits to generate a 360-degree evaluation of the aviation ecosystem, reflecting both its strengths and areas needing improvement. These special audits will be over and above the regulatory audits carried out as per the Annual Surveillance Programme.
