The vice president sits atop an estimated $7 million fortune. Her portfolio, shared with husband Douglas Emhoff, includes real estate, pensions and retirement funds. Here’s how it all came together.
Kamala Harris, the first Black, South Asian and woman vice president of the United States, holds an estimated $7 million fortune. Her portfolio, shared with husband Douglas Emhoff, includes homes in Los Angeles and Washington D.C. worth an estimated $5 million before debt, two pensions from Harris’ time in California government worth $1 million, and at least $1.2 million of retirement accounts for Emhoff.
Born in Oakland, California to immigrant parents from India and Jamaica, Harris’ parents separated soon after the birth of her younger sister, Maya. Harris moved with her sister and mother, a breast cancer researcher, to Montreal when she was 12. She came back to the United States to attend Howard University for college and returned to California for her law degree. After graduating in 1989, she started working in the Alameda County district attorney’s office. In 1998, Harris moved from Oakland to work at the San Francisco district attorney’s office across the bay. She also bought a condo for about $300,000 in the city’s SoMa neighborhood. In March, the vice president sold that property for $860,000.
