Kamala Harris has based much of her Presidential campaign around her middle class upbringing. However, Donald Trump recently took to social media and claimed that Harris’ salary and net worth are much higher than she would care to admit.
Let’s take a look at Vice President’s Kamala Harris’ true net worth and how it compares to that of former President Donald Trump and Joe Biden.

Her home in Brentwood, California is her only owned property between her and her husband and the 3,500 square-foot home makes up more than half of her net worth. She also had apartments in Washington D.C. and San Francisco which she sold in 2021.
