      ***From Business Insider’s Bryan Metzger***:

      People are making false claims about Democratic Rep. [Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s net worth](https://www.businessinsider.com/aoc-net-worth-wealth-salary-congress-home-trump-ocasio-cortez-2025-2) again.

      A viral post from Ted Nugent, the outspoken conservative musician, says that the New York congresswoman is worth $29 million. It’s not the first time this has happened — Ocasio-Cortez is a frequent subject of [misinformation about politicians‘ net worths](https://www.businessinsider.com/members-congress-rich-personal-wealth-net-worth-2025-3).

      According to the latest publicly available information, the congresswoman reported that she owns less than $50,000 in assets and has between $15,000 and $50,000 in student loan debt. Like other rank-and-file members of the House and Senate, her annual salary is $174,000.

      „I am not even worth $1 million. Or a half million,“ Ocasio-Cortez [wrote in February](https://www.businessinsider.com/aoc-net-worth-wealth-salary-congress-home-trump-ocasio-cortez-2025-2), responding to a since-deleted post claiming she made tens of millions of dollars. „I am one of the lowest net worth members of Congress, trade no individual stock, and take no outside income.“

      Disclosures filed by [House members](https://disclosures-clerk.house.gov/FinancialDisclosure) and %5Bsenators%5D(https://efdsearch.senate.gov/search/home/) are available online. They are required to file these documents annually and include information about lawmakers‘ assets, outside income, debts, and other agreements.

      Why would I trust fat-cat AOC to lead in Congress if she isn’t even worth a million dollars!? – Republicans, prolly

      I like how she’s being painted as some sort of out of touch millionaire by a bunch of out of touch millionaires. The irony is just too much sometimes.

    4. For some weird reason, conservatives think progressives have to be wearing sack cloth and covered in ashes, or they have no validity. They also claim to be for the working person but use someone’s working bona fides as a point of derision.

      Who the fuck listens to pedophile Ted Nugent? I’d take political advice from a member of Slipknot before I listened to the Nuge.

      „LOL SHE USED TO BE A BARTENDER LOL LOL LOL LOL“ – Conservatives

      „She’s not on your side. SHE’S A MILLIONAIRE“. (which is a lie) – Also Conservatives

      Disingenuous on their best days, and they have so few of those.

      The right needs to paint her as an out-of-touch elite because if they don’t control the narrative about her, folks might read that she was actually winning awards for microbiology in high school, interned in a U.S. Senator’s office during college, and then graduated from college with honors. 

      In other words, she is highly qualified.

      The entire administration is comprised of billionaires. How is her net worth any topic of discussion when the entire Trump administration is worth billions and people like MJT are known to commit insider trading to the tune of $20m!?

      I firmly believe that she could easily be a millionaire if she sold merch or wrote a book though.

      There’s a lot of propaganda right now directed at the only people standing up for us to make us think they’re not on our side

      If there’s someone who seems to be doing good work and you hear a disappointing ‚fact‘ about them- double-check just how true that fact is. There is so much invested in taking down the few people gaining momentum on the left

    10. If you are getting your information from Ted Nugent, you are a lost cause.

    11. Also worth noting that NYC is *expensive*. $174,000 doesn’t actually go that far.

    12. SpamEatingChikn on

      She literally refuses to participate in insider trading and yet you still have MAGAs trying to use her in whataboutisms to Trump laundering half a billion in bribes through his memecoin *so far*. You literally cannot make this shit up. These people are whatever is the next step past delusional.

    13. flux_of_grey_kittens on

      So is she a millionaire or a dumb bartender? These fucking guys…

    14. barnacle_ballsack on

      Nancy Pelosi sure is though. But yeah let’s turn the spotlight on the young not corrupt politician.

    15. caelthel-the-elf on

      Doesn’t she have to spend a large portion of her paycheck splitting rent for two different apartments because she needs to live in NY & DC for her job? They don’t give her a stipend for that if I remember correctly. I remember her saying something like that, and she also thrifts her outfits or buys used.

      Conservatives: AOC is worth millions of dollars! You can’t trust her!

      Also Conservatives: Trump is worth millions of dollars! He must be a genius and if you disagree you’re just jealous!

    17. The smear has begun. If anyone is noticing the both sides bullshit happening know it’s a concerted effort to have Dems not vote.

      They scared the bots tell you what they are afraid of.

    18. The_Frostweaver on

      AOC knows what is it like to work a normal job for a living and if she wrote a book tomorrow and suddenly became rich I don’t think she would change overnight.

      Look at Bernie Sanders, he wrote some books and made some money but he is still out there fighting to increase minimum wage and give americans affordable healthcare.

    19. What is Lauren Boebert’s net worth? She was flipping burgers before she got into congress.

    20. Aeolus_14_Umbra on

      AOC was working as a bartender before she was elected to congress and at the time she didn’t have enough money to by a professional wardrobe or make a deposit on an apartment.

      Fuck Ted Nugent and his bullshit lies.

    21. Conservatives know she’ll be a presidential contender in 20 years, so they have to start the propaganda machine now, the same way they did with Hillary Clinton when she was just the governor of Arkansas wife.

    22. wonderwall999 on

      I met 4 different conservatives who were complaining how AOC must be corrupt because she only earns a certain amount from her day job and yet she’s worth 20+ million dollars. I didn’t know it was a common talking point with conservatives. And then I looked it up, and no she’s not. This stuff is so, so easy to look up.

    23. Democrats, can we all please stop believing dumb stuff that washed-up mediocre musicians (Ted Nugent, Kid Rock, et al) say about Democrats? They clearly have an agenda and NO aversions to lying about people.

    24. They hate her because she actually fights for working class people, not just pretending and then voting for corporate interests. She’s an actual threat to the wealthy.

    25. Pretend-Disaster2593 on

      Look at MTG. She’s worth tens of millions of dollars now. Like wtf.
