Who is California Governor Gavin Newsom, biography, age, height, family, wife, children, education, party and net worth
Gavin Christopher Newsom, born on October 10, 1967, is an American politician and businessman who currently serves as the 40th Governor of California. A member of the Democratic Party, Newsom’s political career includes serving as the 49th Lieutenant Governor of California from 2011 to 2019 and the 42nd Mayor of San Francisco from 2004 to 2011. He became Governor in 2019 after being elected in 2018 and was re-elected in 2022.
Raised in San Francisco, his parents divorced when he was three, and he faced the difficulties of severe dyslexia throughout his education. Despite these challenges, Newsom excelled in sports during high school and later graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Political Science from Santa Clara University in 1989 with a major in political science. After college, Newsom ventured into business, founding the PlumpJack Group in 1991, a boutique winery in Napa Valley, with financial backing from family friend Gordon Getty.
His business empire eventually expanded to include 23 businesses, spanning wineries, hotels, and restaurants. Newsom’s early foray into politics began in 1996 when San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown appointed him to the city’s Parking and Traffic Commission, later placing him on the Board of Supervisors in 1997. Elected as Mayor of San Francisco in 2003, Newsom was re-elected in 2007.

As Governor, Newsom’s leadership has been tested by crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic, which led to criticisms of his handling of the situation, particularly over stringent lockdown measures. These controversies contributed to a recall attempt in 2021, which he successfully defeated. Despite the challenges, Newsom was re-elected with over 59% of the vote in 2022.
Gavin Newsom, an American politician and investor, has an estimated net worth of $30 million. However, it is important to note that much of the couple’s wealth stems from Gavin’s wife, Jennifer, who is the daughter of Ken Siebel, a highly successful investment manager. In 2018, shortly after Gavin’s election as Governor of California, the couple purchased a $3.7 million home in the suburban area of Sacramento. Later, in November 2024, they acquired a luxurious property in Kentfield, California, for $9.1 million.
Gavin meanwhile made most of his net worth in business and real estate investments before he became the 40th California governor.
Governor Newsom and his second wife Jennifer Siebel Newsom have four children: Montana, Hunter, Brooklynn and Dutch and a pet dog.
