The home’s value has surged from about $1 million in 2021 to an estimated $4.4 million in 2024,according to [_Forbes_](https://www.forbes.com/sites/kylemullins/2024/05/26/heres-how-much-kamala-harris-is-worth/).

Harris rose to prominence as a prosecutor in California, beginning her legal career at the Alameda County district attorney’s office after earning a J.D. from U.C. Hastings in 1989\. In 2004, she became San Francisco’s District Attorney, where she made[ $140,000 a year](https://s3.amazonaws.com/pdfs.taxnotes.com/2019/K%5FHarris%5F2004.pdf)—a salary that climbed to more than [$200,000 in 2010](https://s3.amazonaws.com/pdfs.taxnotes.com/2019/K%5FHarris%5F2010.pdf). **Read More:** [_‘I Know Donald Trump’s Type’: Harris Launches New Attack as She Takes Over Campaign_](https://time.com/7001650/kamala-harris-speech-trump/) When she was elected Attorney General of California in 2010, the title came with a pay cut to a [salary of $159,000](https://s3.amazonaws.com/pdfs.taxnotes.com/2019/K%5FHarris%5F2011.pdf).

Delaware. [00:28] It is so good to hear our president's voice. [00:32] Joe, I know you're still on the call. [00:34] And we've been talking every day. [00:36] You probably you guys heard it from Doug's voice. [00:39] We love Joe and Jill. [00:41] We really do. They truly are like family to us. [00:44] And we everybody hear. [00:47] It's Mutual. I knew you were still there. [00:52] You're not going anywhere, Joe. [00:54] I'm watching your kid. I'm watching your kid. [00:56] I love it. I love you. Oh. [01:02] And I know it's been a roller coaster, [01:05] and we're all filled with so many mixed emotions about this. [01:09] I just have to I love Joe Biden. [01:11] I love Joe Biden, and I know we all do, [01:13] and we have so many darn good reasons for loving Joe Biden. [01:18] And I have full faith that this team is the team will be the reason we win in November. [01:24] You all who are here. [01:26] And as Julie always says, [01:28] and I will quote the great Julie, [01:30] we are one team, one fight. [01:34] One fight. [01:36] And so, again, I am a firsthand witness from being with him in [01:40] the Oval office to [01:41] the situation room and seeing him on the global stage with world leaders. [01:47] President Joe Biden fights for the American people, [01:50] and we are deeply, [01:52] deeply grateful for his service to our nation. [02:10] Joe, are you watching? You hear this clapping? [02:14] Can you see it? I'm watching. [02:17] I'm watching. I know it. [02:20] You love me. You're the best kid. [02:28] And let us be very clear. [02:31] Joe is not done. Far from it. He knows. [02:34] There is still more work to do, [02:36] and our nation will continue to praise [02:39] his bold and visionary leadership as president. Thank you, Joe. [02:43] Thank you. [02:47] And it is my great honor to have Joe's endorsement in this race. [02:53] You do. [02:57] And it is my intention to go out and earn this nomination. And to win. [03:07] So in the days and weeks ahead, I together with you, [03:11] will do everything in my power to unite our Democratic Party, [03:16] to unite our nation, [03:19] and to win this election. [03:21] As many of you know, before I was elected as Vice President, [03:25] before I was elected as United State Senator, [03:28] I was the elected attorney general, [03:30] as I've mentioned in California, [03:31] and before that I was a court room prosecutor. [03:33] In those roles, I took on perpetrators of all kinds. [03:37] You [03:50] Predators [03:52] who abused women. [03:54] Fraudsters who ripped off consumers. [03:57] C cheaters who broke the rules for their own gain. [04:01] So hear me when I say, [04:04] I know Donald Trump's type. [04:08] And in this campaign, [04:10] I will proudly I will proudly put my record against his. [04:19] It is this team here that is going to help in this November to elect a majority of [04:26] members of the United States Congress who agree [04:29] the government should not be telling a woman what to do with her body. [04:34] And when Congress passes a law to [04:38] restore reproductive freedoms as president of the United States, [04:43] I will sign it into law. [04:47] So, ultimately, to all the friends here, [04:51] I say, in this election, we know. [04:53] We each face a question, [04:56] what kind of country do we want to live in? [04:59] A country of freedom, [05:01] compassion, and rule of law? [05:04] Yes. [05:05] Or a country of chaos, fear and hate. [05:09] Oh. So in the next 106 days, we have work to do. [05:15] We have doors to knock on. [05:17] We have people to talk to, [05:19] we have phone calls to make, [05:21] and we have an election to win. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/7001574/kamala-harris-net-worth/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/7001574/kamala-harris-net-worth/"},"headline":"What We Know About Kamala Harris' Net Worth","datePublished":"2024-07-23T15:28:07.000Z","dateModified":"2026-10-19T07:44:52.767Z","description":"From her years as a prosecutor to her Vice President salary and California properties, here's what we know about Kamala Harris' net worth.","url":"https://time.com/7001574/kamala-harris-net-worth/","keywords":["2024 Elections","News Desk","Second click"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltd69410fe51f58b15/698a5905457a524641d6a8b1/harris-net-worth.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Simmone Shah","jobTitle":"Reporter","url":"https://time.com/author/simmone-shah/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltd69410fe51f58b15/698a5905457a524641d6a8b1/harris-net-worth.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"President-Elect Joe Biden And Vice President-Elect Kamala Harris Address The Nation After Election Win","caption":"President-Elect Joe Biden And Vice President-Elect Kamala Harris Address The Nation After Election Win","creditText":"Tasos Katopodis/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/tag/2024-election/","name":"2024 Elections"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/7001574/kamala-harris-net-worth/","name":"What We Know About Kamala Harris' Net Worth"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"‘I Know Donald Trump’s Type’: Harris Launches New Attack as She Takes Over Campaign","description":"Vice President Kamala Harris had a busy 24 hours after being endorsed as the Democratic presidential candidate by President Joe Biden.
