37. That's a good point. Marge won't retire with anything close to a full pension, but she'll enjoy other benefits.

Serving for five years allows a former congressperson to qualify for the option to enroll in a government-subsidized health plan during retirement. Current members purchase health insurance plans through the DC Health Link marketplace to receive the government contribution toward their health plan. Members who retire and meet the five-year rule can continue their health coverage into retirement, selecting from the same plans offered to other federal annuitants, paying premiums, deductibles, and co-pays, just like other federal employees. The government typically covers about 72% to 75% of the premium cost, which is a standard employer contribution for federal workers.

'How much is Marjorie Taylor Greene worth? Net worth breakdown as MTG says she will resign Jan. 5'

"Reports like Quiver Quantitaplace have placed Greene's estimated net worth at $25 million as of October 2025...Her income comes from investments, business endeavors, and her congressional pay."

"Her publicly disclosed portfolio includes $3.2 million in individual stocks. Her primary source of wealth, however, remains a 50% stake in Taylor Commercial, Inc., a family-run construction business. According to her congressional financial disclosures, the company's worth is valued between $5 million and $25 million per Finance Monthly."

"Greene's base congressional salary is $174,000 annually, which is modest compared to her overall portfolio. According to Business Insider, Greene also earned $178,000 in book royalties in 2024 from her memoir MTG, bringing her to the list of Congress's top-earning authors."

"Greene has faced questions over her frequent trades. In April 2025, she reportedly bought shares in major companies like Amazon, Apple, Dell, Nike and Palantir, just before a 90-day tariff pause announced by Trump that significantly boosted markets, Yahoo Finance reported."

"According to the Daily Beast, she insists that her advisor, not she herself, makes investment decisions. She maintains that her wealth was built primarily before she entered Congress."

"However, the Norwegian Standard reported that Greene’s net worth was estimated to be just $700,000 before entering Congress in 2020...She claims that her multimillion-dollar net worth 'has not in any way come from politics.' "

Marge did well for herself during her brief 5-year congressional career, she'll likely continue making a lot of money from her "brand" in the future.
