Khanna\u2019s wealth has grown substantially since he entered Congress in 2017. Though he claims he has no direct involvement in the trades, they are disclosed under his name, and his office did not comment on the activity. Khanna supports a ban on stock trading by Congress members and their spouses and backs a proposed billionaire wealth tax in California, which would impose a 5% tax on residents with over $1 billion net worth to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/new-british-prime-ministers-agenda-draws-comparisons-to-reaganomics\/\" title=\"New British Prime Minister\u2019s Agenda Draws Comparisons To \u2018Reaganomics\u2019\">fund public services<\/a>. Critics,including Mark Cuban and Spencer Pratt,have condemned Khanna\u2019s advocacy while noting his substantial wealth,with critics accusing him of benefiting from the system he promotes to regulate. Khanna\u2019s wealth stems from family trusts managed by third-party advisers, created by his father-in-law, Ohio businessman Monte Ahuja. In 2025,Khanna\u2019s family earned up to $10.8 million in dividends and business disbursements, and his children earned over $2 million from private golf club investments.Khanna\u2019s salary as a House representative remains at $174,000 annually.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rep. <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/ro-khanna\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"5039\">Ro Khanna<\/a> (D-CA) recently reported that his family trusts made 5,402 <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/stocks-and-bonds\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"3489\">stock<\/a> trades during 244 of the 252 active trading days in 2025, according to his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/rep-tlaib-made-100k-from-tenants-while-pushing-rent-and-mortgage-cancellation-act\/\" title=\"Rep.
