Democratic Rep. Brian Higgins, N.Y., took the cake with the greatest returns at 238 percent, according to a recent analysis of public financial disclosures by Unusual Whales.

He’s followed by Republicans Mark Green, chair of the Homeland Security Committee who had 122 percent returns and Rep. Garret Graves, a close ally of former Speaker Kevin McCarthy who had 107 percent returns.

Pelosi and her husband, Paul Pelosi, have made millions off tech companies that she’s responsible for regulating.

The longtime Democrat Congresswoman, 83, got a 65 percent return on her investments in 2023, well over double the S&P 500’s overall 24 percent gain.

The couple has made nearly $4 million so far off the Nvidia call options the California Democrat disclosed that her husband purchased in November. Call options give investors the right to buy shares of a company at a specific price.

Lawmakers’ spouses can trade in companies or industries their partner may help regulate, but it’s illegal for family members and members of Congress to profit from inside information.
