What is JD Vance's net worth? A look at the vice presidential candidate's finances

In addition to his venture capital earnings, another source of Vance's income is his best-selling memoir “Hillbilly Elegy,” which earned him $121,376 in book royalties in 2022.

Walz will likely question Vance's Midwest credentials during Tuesday night's debate.

“Like all the normal people I grew up with in the heartland, JD studied at Yale, had his career funded by Silicon Valley billionaires, and then wrote a best-selling book that devastated this community,” Walz said at his first rally as Harris' Election for Vice President. “Come on! Middle America is not like that.”

In 2022, according to ABC, Vance earned about $1 million from a lucrative combination of his $174,000 U.S. Senate salary, his venture capital firm salary, book royalties and investment income from investments, including real estate rental fees and stock dividends.

Vance's other assets include shares in more than 100 companies, according to financial disclosures, cryptocurrencies valued between $100,001 and $250,000, three college savings accounts for his three children totaling between $31,000 and $115,000, according to CNN, and retirement accounts. Other investments include multiple bank accounts, CDs, and exchange-traded funds that track everything from the S&P 500 and Dow to Treasury bonds, gold, and oil.
