Newsoms release tax returns. See how much the couple earned since he became governor

California Gov. Gavin Newsom and his wife, documentary filmmaker Jennifer Siebel Newsom, earned at least $11 million since he took office, according to tax returns covering 2019 through their most recent filings for 2024. The records, which reporters were allowed to review on Thursday, show annual earnings between $1.4 million and $3.5 million, placing the couple among the highest earners in the U.S. The disclosure came after criticism that Newsom had not released his filings since 2020. The report is also tied to recent disputes: weeks earlier, Newsom accused the U.S. Department of Justice of pursuing a baseless, politically motivated investigation at President Donald Trump’s request. The couple’s income includes earnings tied to wineries, restaurants and other investments, while details of Siebel Newsom’s nonprofit and for-profit roles are reflected in the returns.
