House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has made millions of dollars in the stock market on companies she regulates, reports journalist Glenn Greenwald.

Pelosi’s wealth has increased to $115 million from $41 million over the last 17 years with most of her and her husband Paul’s additional riches due to extremely lucrative decisions about when to buy and sell tech stocks.

Over the last two years, almost 75% of the trading done by the Pelosis, more than $33 million, has been in Big Tech. Major legislation concerning the industry during the same time frame has been pending before the House, controlled by the committees that Pelosi oversees.

Greenwald points out as a blatant conflict of interest, for example, that buying and selling in just Apple accounted for 17.7% of the Pelosis’ overall trading volume.

During this same period, Pelosi, who is the sixth wealthiest member of Congress, held at least one private conversation with Apple CEO Tim Cook about how various pending legislation to reform Silicon Valley could influence his company.
