How Vivek Ramaswamy Made a Fortune Before Politics

May 14, 2023 · 1:37 pm ET · Leave a Comment

Politico: “While Ramaswamy has not yet filed a mandatory personal financial disclosure (his campaign asked for a deadline extension in order to be ‘thorough’), he released 20 years of his individual income tax returns online and to reporters.”

“The filings date back to 2002, the year in which he turned 17 and reported earning $2,000. He reported over $1 million in annual income for the first time in 2011, when he worked at QVT Financial, and has since reported earning more than $240 million, driven by $174 million in capital gains for 2020.”
