Overview

  • A June Benzinga report claimed her net worth jumped from about $700,000 before she took office in 2021 to roughly $21 million.
  • Greene denied the surge allegation in an X post, saying she built her wealth through a family construction business and that a fiduciary financial manager handles her portfolio.
  • Independent journalist Yashar Ali and a community fact-check posted a screenshot of her official disclosure listing a 100% interest in Taylor Commercial Inc. valued at $5 million–$25 million to refute the claim.
  • Earlier reporting highlighted her stock purchases ahead of President Trump’s April tariff announcement and led House Democrats to call for insider-trading investigations.
  • Debate over congressional stock trading continues with lawmakers considering stricter disclosure rules or outright bans on personal trades.
