Fox News reports that Justice Sonia Sotomayor’s wealth has exploded since joining the Supreme Court.

The year before her nomination to the high court, she reported assets between $15,001 and $65,000.

“Since then, Sotomayor’s net worth has skyrocketed, putting her among the ranks of the nation’s millionaires,” Aaron Kliegman writes. “In 2021, her investments totaled somewhere between $1.5 million and $6.4 million, according to financial disclosure forms. Last year, investments were roughly the same, in between $1.6 million and $6.6 million.”

Before one jumps to conclusions regarding corruption of office and such, know that the world knows Ms. Sotomayor as a “wise Latina,” and such wisdom likely extends beyond the world of jurisprudence to investing (and probably inventing, art, rocketry, and much else).
