JD Vance, now Vice President, is still generating substantial income from his 2016 memoir, "Hillbilly Elegy." His most recent financial disclosure, likely from 2025 detailing 2024 income, indicates he earned between $50,001 and $100,000 from book sales. This follows previous disclosures showing even higher royalty income, with $475,380 reported in 2021 and $347,752 in 2020. The book has sold over three million copies, with a significant surge in sales after his selection as a vice presidential candidate.
Beyond book royalties, Vance's financial disclosures reveal a diverse portfolio. His assets include stakes in various funds and accounts, such as Narya Capital Fund I, LP (valued at $500,000 - $1 million, generating $15,001 - $50,000 in income), and Rise of the Rest Seed Fund, LP (valued at $100,000 - $250,000). He also holds a substantial cash account at Huntington National Bank, valued between $250,000 and $500,000. Liabilities include a mortgage with Navy Federal Credit Union for $250,000 - $500,000 and a line of credit with Charles Schwab for $1,000,001 - $5,000,000.
Vance's total estimated net worth, according to Forbes, is around $12 million. This represents an increase from an estimated $10 million a year prior. This growth is attributed to ongoing book sales, a booming stock market, and newly revealed assets in his financial disclosures. His venture capital firm, Narya Capital, which he co-founded in 2019 and sold his stake in 2023, was also a lucrative venture, reportedly generating around $1 million in profit for him in both 2021 and 2022. The sale of his stake in Narya came in the form of a promissory note worth between $1 million and $5 million, due by 2028, which is counted as an asset.
