Anna Paulina Luna, a Republican congresswoman from Florida, accused House Speaker and Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi of engaging in insider trading to make money in the stock market.
Speaking at Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest on December 20, Luna said that Nancy Pelosi’s ROI of around 17,000% beat even Warren Buffett’s and claimed that it “doesn’t happen statistically.”

What did Anna Paulina Luna claim?
In a minute-long clip posted on social media of Luna’s address at the event, the politician accused Pelosi of engaging in insider trading and called the top leader “THE REAL ‘Wolf of Wall Street.’
Notably, Pelosi has said she is not seeking re-election and will leave office in 2026, when her term ends.
“Nancy Pelosi, by the time she announced she was no longer seeking office, had outdone Warren Buffett. We called her the REAL ‘Wolf of Wall Street.’ It has currently outperformed the S&P and has returned over 17,000% on its stock investments. That statistically doesn’t happen unless you’re involved in insider trading,” Luna claimed.
In early November, Republican National Committee spokeswoman Kiersten Pels made a similar accusation. “Nancy Pelosi’s real legacy is becoming the most successful insider trader in American history. If anyone else turned $785,000 into $133.7 million with better returns than Warren Buffett, he would be behind bars,” Pels said.

In November, the New York Post reported that Nancy Pelosi and her venture capitalist husband, Paul Pelosi, made at least $130 million (a staggering 16,930%) in profits from stock investments during the career politician’s 37 years in Congress.
The report said documents show that before taking her first job in Congress in 1987, then-47-year-old Nancy Pelosi and her husband reported between $6,10,000 and $7,85,000 in stocks in their portfolio.
Those stocks, including some like CitiBank (which is no longer publicly traded), were worth an estimated $133.7 million by November 2025, the report added, citing data from Quiver Quantitative.
The report added that they had reached out to Nancy Pelosi’s office for comment but had not received a response.
