There might be far more professions that pay more than being the President or the Vice President of the United States, but that doesn't mean Vice President Kamala Harris's net worth is anything to scoff at. After President Joe Biden endorsed her as the Democratic candidate for the 2024 election following him stepping down from running, the people have lots of questions about how much she is worth.
Prior to earning her spot alongside Biden in the White House, Harris had been a politician for years. And if she won an election as president, she would stand to earn even more than she has in the past.

What is Kamala Harris's net worth?
According to the 2023 White House's Financial Disclosure Report, Kamala has a pretty large net worth on her own, let alone combined with her husband Douglas Emhoff's net worth. In 2023, Harris's net worth appears to have landed in the range of $2 million – $6 million, judging by her reported income from her position in office and other revenues, like royalties from the books The Truths We Hold and Superheroes Are Everywhere.

Birthplace: Oakland, Calif.
Mother: Shyamala Gopalan

The vice president's annual salary is a reported $235,100, though Harris's income also comes from investments, per the official Financial Disclosure Report.
