Marjorie Taylor Greene Denies $21M Net Worth Surge Amid Insider Trading Claims

Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has vehemently denied reports that her net worth increased from around $700,000 to over $21 million since joining Congress in 2021, calling such claims "outright slander and lies." Greene attributes her wealth to her family's construction business, which she has owned for more than two decades, and to investments managed by a financial adviser under a fiduciary contract, emphasizing that her earnings have not come from her government role. Critics have raised concerns about potential insider trading related to stock purchases made before President Donald Trump's tariff pause announcement, but Greene insists her financial growth predates her political career. She also expressed frustration with the criticism, stating her life was easier before entering politics and defending her success as part of the American dream. Additionally, Greene has linked some of the controversy to her outspoken stance against foreign aid and wars, particularly regarding U.S. support for Israel. Her responses underscore ongoing tensions between her political positions and public scrutiny of her finances.
