Amassing a 9 figure fortune doesn't have to be difficult, if you're married to the Speaker of the House of Representatives.
Paul Pelosi, husband of Speaker Nancy Pelosi, appears to be one of the best known stock traders as everything he touches seems to turn to gold. In a year where hedge funds have averaged around an 11% profit through Jan-Nov. 2021, Pelosi has managed to absolutely destroy that number. Though the exact numbers are difficult to ascertain (thanks to wide monetary ranges in Congressional reporting requirements), it's easy to see Pelosi seems to almost always pick winners.

A spokesperson for the California Democrat told Bloomberg that she doesn't own any stock herself, and had no involvement in her husband's activity.
According to House Stock Watcher, Pelosi has so far disclosed 48 transactions made by her family worth more than $50 million. The online database of lawmakers' stock activity is compiled by software engineer Timothy Carambat.
Pelosi is currently one of the 25 wealthiest members of Congress, according to Business Insider—though, an OpenSecrets report found that nearly half of members of the 116th Congress were millionaires.

This year is an anomaly in my opinion, I had over a 90% return on regular investments this year. That doesn’t count the ridiculous returns I’ve had from crypto either. Makes me feel uneasy how fluid the market is right now and wouldn’t be surprised if it all came crashing down here soon.

I'm a birdbath scrub and I did better than 11% this year. I'm not playing with millions of dollars so it's nothing to write home about but 11% seems pretty low for a hedge fund. If they're doing that poorly maybe I have a career move to make.
YTD 32.54%. I swing trade as a hobby though so I really commit some time to it.
