The asset management style of Kamala Harris, the leading Democratic presidential candidate in the United States, is known to be quite conservative. The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) evaluated that the only monotonous aspect of Vice President Harris’ life would be her investment portfolio.
Vice President Harris and her husband have a significant portion of their assets in common index funds and also hold a considerable amount of cash. Their income last year was around $500,000, and their assets are estimated to be between $3.6 million and $7.36 million including real estate, as analyzed by the Wall Street Journal.
Financial advisors said that most of their assets are in retirement accounts, and they also hold a $2 million home mortgage loan at a 2.625% interest rate.
Megan Gorman, an asset manager in the San Francisco area, commented that they are financially a bit conservative and seem to be paying a lot of attention to avoiding controversies or excessive risks.
Specifically, Vice President Harris earned $218,784 in salary, while her husband Douglas Emhoff earned $174,994 as a visiting professor at Georgetown University. Vice President Harris earned $749,484 from two books published in 2019.
They made donations totaling $23,026 last year, supporting two California universities, Harris’ alma mater Howard University, six non-profit organizations, and others.
Their real estate includes a 4-bedroom, 325m² home in LA, which Emhoff purchased for $2.7 million in 2012 and is now estimated to be worth $5 million.
On the other hand, J.D. Vance, the Republican vice-presidential candidate, is notable for holding Bitcoin worth $100,000 to $250,000, marking the first instance of a presidential candidate owning cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin.
