Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband, Paul, and his long-known knack for making timely, savvy stock market moves is back in the news.
According to reports and financial disclosures, Paul Pelosi allegedly made $38 million worth of stock trades in the weeks leading up to President Donald Trump’s inauguration.
One of the moves included an investment in a once-obscure artificial intelligence firm whose shares have soared nearly 50% in the past week.
Paul Pelosi, a venture capitalist, sold $24 million worth of Apple stock as well as $5 million worth of shares in AI chip-maker Nvidia.
Both of those transactions were executed on New Year’s Eve, according to government filings.
Nancy Pelosi is legally required to disclose her husband’s stock trades.
Paul Pelosi, who survived a vicious hammer attack inside the couple’s San Francisco home more than two years ago, has also taken a new position with Tempus AI, a Chicago-based health technology company that uses artificial intelligence to process clinical and molecular data, according to filings
According to the filing, Paul Pelosi bought $100,000 worth of call options in Tempus AI on Jan. 14.
Since the Pelosi position was revealed, the company’s stock has surged, according to the Post.
When the market opened on Jan. 14, Tempus AI stock was trading at around $32 a share. As of Thursday, however, shares of Tempus AI, which went public last June in an IPO that priced the stock at $37 per share, were trading at around $50.50 per share — an increase of 60%.

Christopher Josephs, the tech entrepreneur who has operated the “Nancy Pelosi Stock Tracker” on X since January 2021, launched an app that allows traders to buy stocks and amass a portfolio that is identical to that of the former House speaker’s husband.
Josephs told The New York Post that his Autopilot investment app, which has been online since January 2023, has generated more than $325 million in total trades by users who use the same strategy as Paul Pelosi.
Josephs said that through Tuesday traders who are copying Pelosi have amassed $45 million in realized and unrealized gains thus far.
The Pelosis’ stock trades have generated handsome returns on investment, according to the social media personality known as “Unusual Whales.”
Nancy Pelosi’s net worth is estimated to be over $240 million, largely derived from her husband’s investments, including major holdings in Apple, Nvidia and Microsoft as well as a $45 million real estate portfolio.
Her husband’s stock trades, particularly timely investments before key legislative actions, have sparked ongoing debates about potential conflicts of interest and the need for stricter regulations on lawmakers’ financial activities.
Nancy Pelosi initially opposed proposals that lawmakers and their spouses be banned from trading stocks — insisting that her husband makes stock trades independently and that she has no involvement.
