Nancy Pelosi - The First Madam Speaker
Pelosi was prolific, good at her job, a menace, iron fisted. Like Mitch McConnell in the Senate, she is hated by her opposition precisely because she was such a shrewd and ruthless political operator. Pelosi's wealth has grown by $140 million since she took office thanks to major congressional decisions that coincided with her husband's stock trades. Her family also got rich off her position of power but there is still more smoke than fire on this point.
