Ro Khanna spent Thursday boosting Bernie Sanders’ latest wealth-gap chart and inviting Californians to rallies in San Francisco and Los Angeles, where the two will pitch a one-time 5 percent hit on the state’s billionaires to fund kids’ healthcare. The Silicon Valley Democrat framed America’s roughly 989 billionaires as holding a bigger slice of GDP than the Gilded Age robber barons, which is a bold lecture from a man whose own household disclosures put family assets somewhere between $69 million and $167 million, with eleven holdings so open-ended the real number could sit even higher.
That fortune, largely his wife’s family’s Ohio auto-parts money parked in trusts that traded as much as $165 million in 2025, has already bought an 8,000-square-foot D.C. house with a four-story elevator and marble laundry rooms, now on the market so the family can move into a custom place in Northern Virginia estimated around $9 million.
989 billionaires are now worth 22% of our GDP.

We have more wealth concentration than the gilded age.
Join Bernie & me on October 3rd in SF & October 5th in LA to tax California billionaires at 5% one time to pay for the healthcare of California kids. https://t.co/aOAwJT7m5a
X, as usual, answered the eat-the-rich sermon with photos of the mansions.
Especially James Woods.

Yup.
It's cute how Ro always complains about billionaires ...
Bernie should show us how to get rich without ever working in your life.

Right? If anyone knows how to get rich without doing much of anything that would be Bernie Sanders.
And that’s just one of his houses.
