Some Political Leaders Are Living Large While Pretending to Understand the Struggle

Gavin Newsom (Born in 1967) – $30 Million

Gavin Newsom isn’t just running California—he’s also sitting on an incredible $30 million fortune. Long before stepping into politics, he co-founded PlumpJack Winery in 1992, which grew into a multi-million-dollar empire of wineries, restaurants, and luxury hotels. His business ventures continue to bring in serious cash, with investments worth over $1 million each.

As governor, he earns a $234K salary, but that’s pocket change compared to his other income streams. In 2024, he stirred controversy for spending $200K a year on a personal photographer—a move that had critics questioning his priorities. Still, he remains a dominant force in politics, shaping policies on climate, housing, and tech in the Golden State.
