What is Kamala Harris’ net worth?

Kamala Harris now looks certain to become the Democratic presidential nominee to take on Donald Trump at the polls in November.

Her lengthy career as a state prosecutor and US Senator, combined with her marriage to a successful lawyer means that Kamala Harris’ net worth is significant, though still less than that of her Republican rival.

Her campaign – recently rebranded as Harris For President – reportedly pulled in $84m within the first 24 hours of her candidacy being endorsed by Joe Biden.

While this money does not go to Harris directly, her current federal government salary as vice president sits at $218,000.

Her net worth is currently estimated at around $8m, according to Forbes, which is due in part to a multi-million dollar home in California that her husband Doug Emhoff bought in 2012.

The home’s value has surged from about $1m in 2021 to an estimated $4.4m in 2024, according to Forbes.

Harris rose to prominence as a prosecutor in California, beginning her legal career at the Alameda County district attorney’s office, before becoming the San Francisco District Attorney, in 2004.

In that post, she made $140,000 a year, a salary that increased to more than $200,000 in 2010.

Harris took a pay cut in 2010 when she was elected Attorney General of California, which paid her a salary of $159,000, which she took home for the next three years.

Harris and Emhoff married in 2014, at which time he was also a prominent attorney with clients including  Walmart and healthcare company Abbott Labs.

According to financial documents reviewed by ABC News, at this time he earned more than $1m per year and held dozens of investments and stocks in companies such as Home Depot, Comcast, and American Express.
