California Sen. Dianne Feinstein and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi are among the 15 wealthiest members of Congress, according to a new survey.

The annual rankings by Roll Call, a Capitol Hill newspaper, showed the two San Francisco Democrats have a combined worth of at least $68 million, and potentially much more.

Feinstein’s husband, Richard Blum, is president and CEO of the private equity firm Blum Capital Partners LP. Together they have a number of valuable assets, including a share of San Francisco’s Carlton Hotel properties, which is worth up to $25 million.

She also continues to draw a $53,068 pension from the city and county of San Francisco, where she served 18 years as mayor and as a member of the Board of Supervisors.

Pelosi, the 13th wealthiest member, reported a minimum net worth of $26 million. Among her assets is a $5 million to $25 million investment in the Sacramento Mountain Lions of the United Football League, owned by her husband Paul.
