MUST SEE: Ro Khanna’s Financial Disclosures Reveal…

Representative Ro Khanna has built his entire political brand around fighting economic inequality and standing up to what he calls America’s oligarchs. But his newly filed 2025 congressional financial disclosure tells a very different story about the household he actually lives in, one built on staggering wealth, aggressive stock trading, and financial structures that would make any hedge fund manager proud.

According to the disclosure, Khanna’s family trusts executed a jaw-dropping 5,402 individual stock transactions across 244 of the 251 active trading days in 2025. The combined value of those trades fell somewhere between $44.6 million and $164.4 million, figures that place Khanna among the most prolific traders in all of Congress, if not the single most active.

The scale of Khanna’s household wealth is difficult to overstate. The disclosure lists the family’s total reported assets ranging from $69.2 million all the way up to $166.7 million or more. Notably, eleven of the family’s holdings were reported only as being worth more than $1 million each, with no upper limit disclosed at all, a common quirk of congressional disclosure rules that allows the truly wealthy to obscure just how rich they really are. Some outside estimates using median calculations have placed Khanna’s household net worth as high as $232.7 million, and even $340 million by some accounts.

Khanna entered Congress in 2017 with a reported net worth of no more than $78 million. That his wealth has more than doubled during his time in Washington, while he simultaneously built a national profile denouncing wealth inequality, is the kind of contradiction that deserves far more scrutiny than it has received from the legacy press.

The overwhelming majority of this fortune does not belong to Khanna personally, at least not on paper. Dependent children in the Khanna household accounted for between $61.7 million and $153.7 million or more of the family’s reported minimum net worth, nearly 90 percent of the total. Khanna’s wife accounted for the remainder. The congressman himself draws the standard $174,000 annual salary paid to rank-and-file House members, a salary that has not increased since 2009.

The source of this dynastic wealth traces back to Khanna’s father-in-law, Monte Ahuja, an Indian-born entrepreneur who built a fortune in Cleveland through Transtar Industries, an auto parts distribution business. Ahuja established a network of trusts benefiting his daughter, Ritu Ahuja Khanna, and her children well before she married Ro Khanna in 2015. Some of these are irrevocable trusts, a legal structure often used by wealthy families specifically to shield assets from future estate and inheritance taxes, the very kind of tax avoidance strategy that progressive lawmakers like Khanna have long claimed to oppose.

Khanna has repeatedly insisted that he has zero knowledge of and zero input into the trades executed within these trusts, telling one interviewer that the accounts are professionally managed by independent, third-party advisers with no direction from him or his wife. He has pointed out that the trust arrangements predate his marriage and that he complies fully with all disclosure requirements under the STOCK Act.

That defense may be legally sound, but it strains credulity given the sheer scope of what these trusts hold and generate. The disclosure shows the family earned as much as $10.8 million in dividends and business distributions during 2025 alone. Trusts benefiting the Khanna children generated more than $2 million in unearned income last year from ownership stakes in three private golf clubs in Ohio, including Barrington Golf Club in Aurora, Mayfield Country Club, and Sand Ridge Golf Club, properties associated with a firm called ARECO Golf. Membership initiation fees at clubs of this caliber can run between $30,000 and $45,000, putting these establishments well outside the reach of the working families Khanna claims to champion.

The children’s trusts also hold interests in MAI Capital Management, a Cleveland-based wealth management firm overseeing tens of billions of dollars in assets, along with stakes in the Silver Point Distressed Opportunity Fund, a hedge fund that specializes in distressed debt investing. Hedge funds, incidentally, are an industry Khanna has specifically singled out for criticism in the past, once describing the visceral anger many Americans feel over their role in fueling economic inequality.

Khanna’s household lifestyle reflects this hidden wealth just as clearly as the trading numbers do. Reporting from the Washington Free Beacon detailed an eight thousand square foot mansion in Washington, D.C., complete with marble finishes and a four-story elevator, purchased through a family trust in 2020 for roughly $3.15 million and now listed for sale above $6 million as the family prepares to relocate to an even larger property in McLean, Virginia, reportedly purchased for around $10 million. The same reporting noted that Khanna’s wife drives a $190,000 Range Rover, a vehicle she was reportedly displeased enough with to sue the dealership over.

This is, to put it plainly, not the household of a man fighting for the working class against entrenched wealth. It is the household of a man who has married into one of the very dynastic fortunes he has spent his career railing against.
