3. That claim's really dodgy as she has owned a majority of her familys multi-million dollar construction business for ages

I looked for verification and the $700K figure is only listed on shady, non-documented 'net worth' sites.

The site (Yahoo Finance is just the aggregator) the video takes the 700K figure from is from a site (GOBankingRates) that claims to reach BILLIONS of readers. It makes the 700K claim with zero evidence linked. Furthermore it DOES state the majority of her wealth comes from the construction business, and states that wealth is 25 million USD (which I can believe but that blows away the whole claim that she was worth only 700K USD before she entered Congress).

Greene’s financial journey is as unconventional as her political career. Since joining Congress in 2021, her net worth has skyrocketed, jumping from around $700,000 (my add, there is NO LINK in the article to prove this claim) to as much as $25 million. As of October 2025, Marjorie Taylor Greene’s estimated net worth is approximately $25 million, which marks a significant increase from before she took office.

Her wealth primarily comes from her majority ownership in her family’s commercial construction business, Taylor Commercial, Inc., which is valued at up to $25 million in her financial disclosures. Other assets include real property, bank accounts and publicly traded stocks.


Again there is no evidence in the article the video uses at all that shows the 700K USD net worth right before she entered Congress.



Here is a site that lists here year by year net worth going back to before 2021. I contridicts the video (and article the video uses) claim.

At 51% that would give her $13M + 700K, if the company valuation is accurate. Still a shortfall. TheBlackAdder 11 hrs ago #6
I added more refutation of the claim made, historical data based of financial disclosures that go back before 2021 Celerity 11 hrs ago #7
