California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a prominent political figure, has a net worth estimated at around $30 million as of 2025, according to Finance Monthly. His political career began in 1997 when he was appointed to the Board of Supervisors by San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown. He was elected mayor in 2003 and served two terms before becoming California’s lieutenant governor in 2010. Newsom has been known for championing progressive policies, including same-sex marriage rights, environmental reforms, and universal health care.
Throughout his political career, Newsom has co-founded several businesses, including PlumpJack Associates LP, which led to the opening of the PlumpJack Winery in 1992. The brand expanded into restaurants, hotels, and retail stores, employing over 700 people. By 2002, his business holdings were valued at nearly $7 million.
Newsom and his wife, filmmaker Jennifer Siebel Newsom, have made high-profile real estate moves, buying a Kentfield home in 2011 and later purchasing a $3.7 million home in a Sacramento suburb. Beyond PlumpJack, Newsom has held a blind trust worth more than $1 million in mutual funds.
