Tax returns show California's Newsom earning between $1.7 million and $2 million annually

California Governor Gavin Newsom and his wife earned between $1.7 million and $2 million annually from 2022 to 2024, paying around $500,000 in federal and state taxes each year. Their income has remained consistent since 2019, except in 2021 when they sold a house for $6 million, generating $800,000 in profit. The U.S. Justice Department is investigating them, which Newsom claims is politically motivated.
