#news Democrat Rep Ayanna Pressley’s net worth went from -$12K to $8 million in the 6 years she's been in office, on a salary of $174,000#DC Rep. Pressley of Massachusetts is now under fire from conservatives who question how a person earning less than $200K each year manages to explode their net worth to $8 million in such a short period of time.Just before entering Congress in 2018, Pressley reported assets primarily consisting of a single Boston property (her primary residence converted into a rental unit) valued between $500,001 and $1,000,000, alongside an undetermined city pension. Liabilities totaled between $610,001 and $1,265,000, including mortgages and an IRS tax repayment plan, leading independent trackers like OpenSecrets to estimate her net worth at around -$12,500.By 2024—the most recent full disclosure available—assets had ballooned to include five residential rental properties valued collectively between $2,500,004 and $8,000,000, plus her husband's consulting firm generating income between $100,001 and $1,000,000 each year. The pension remains undetermined, but no stock trades or other investments appear.Rental income alone ranged from $145,005 to $350,000 in 2024, with one property in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, selling that year for capital gains between $250,001 and $500,000.Quiver Quantitative pegs her current net worth at approximately $5.25 million, accounting for debts.The growth ties largely to Pressley's husband, Conan Harris, who launched his management consulting firm, Conan Harris & Associates, in 2019—just as she started her congressional term. The business, focused on re-entry programs for former inmates (Harris himself served a decade in prison for drug trafficking), reported modest early earnings but jumped to six or seven figures by 2024.#ChristinaAguayoNews
