In these days when Warren Buffett has left the stage, Nancy Pelosi, the controversial figure of US politics, is making a striking show of strength in the investment world.
While Pelosi's portfolio reached an unbelievable return of 693% with the transactions she made in 11 years, Buffett's portfolio performance could only grow by 304%.
Pelosi is a politician who is frequently discussed in the public and known for her closeness to Trump.
This success is not only a financial performance; it is also proof of how political power can produce extraordinary results when combined with market knowledge.
Pelosi's portfolio focuses on promising areas such as artificial intelligence, big data and cloud technology.
It can be said that she is a growth investor who does not hesitate to take risks and quickly adapts to the changing dynamics of the market.
On the other hand, 94-year-old Buffett is perhaps being applauded on stage for the last time as the greatest value investor of all time.
Buffett, who has become legendary for his patient and cautious investment strategy that he has maintained for 60 years, has preferred stability, dividends and understandable business models.
Buffett, who openly opposed Trump's policies by saying "It is a big mistake to take the world against us with trade wars", has left him behind the wave of growth with his cautious stance in the face of uncertainty.
The $348 billion he has in his safe as of 2025 is an indication that he has not found an opportunity in the market that he feels confident in.
His principle of "we do not invest in what we do not understand" has left him out of the game in today's rapidly changing technology world.
Pelosi, on the contrary, has not only predicted the future, she has bought it.
Finance is not the only area where these two names differ.
Pelosi's political closeness to the Trump administration has brought to the agenda allegations of access to insider information. While ethical discussions about investment choices continue, the timing is noteworthy.
Buffett, on the other hand, has remained out of politics as a figure who has earned the public's trust with his strict adherence to ethical principles. Perhaps that’s why she has struggled to navigate today’s political-economic chaos.
While Warren Buffett left the game of his own accord amid the Trump tension, Pelosi combined her political influence and market insight to crush the market.
Both won, but one with speed, risk, and courage; the other with patience, discipline, and principle.
Time will tell which one the 21st-century investment world will need more.
But today’s winner is, without a doubt, Nancy Pelosi.
