Early Life & Education

Devin Gerald Nunes was born on October 1, 1973, in Tulare, California, a small city in the San Joaquin Valley known for its deep agricultural roots. His family, of Portuguese descent, traces its heritage to the Azores, a Portuguese archipelago.

His grandparents immigrated to California’s Central Valley, where they established a farming life. Raised in a Roman Catholic household, Nunes was influenced by the cultural traditions of his Portuguese-American community, though he has not strongly emphasized religion in his public life.

His parents, Anthony Nunes Jr. and Diane Nunes operated a family farm, growing crops like grapes and almonds. Devin and his older brother, Anthony Nunes III, worked on the farm from a young age, fostering a deep connection to agriculture that later shaped his political views. Growing up in Tulare County, he was immersed in the region’s conservative values and rural way of life.

Nunes graduated from Tulare Union High School in 1992 before attending College of the Sequoias, a community college in Visalia, where he earned an Associate of Arts degree. He then transferred to California Polytechnic State University (Cal Poly) in San Luis Obispo, earning a Bachelor’s degree in Agricultural Business in 1995 and a Master’s degree in Agriculture in 1996.

Career

Devin Nunes’ career has spanned agriculture, politics, and business, taking him from his rural roots to national prominence. Growing up in a farming family in Tulare County, California, he worked on his family’s dairy and crop operations, an experience that shaped his later focus on agricultural policy.

After earning a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Agricultural Business from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo (B.S. 1995, M.S. 1996), he briefly worked as a dairy farmer before transitioning to public service.

His political career began in 1998 when, at just 25, he won a seat on the College of the Sequoias Board of Trustees, becoming one of the youngest community college trustees in California history. In 2001, President George W. Bush appointed him as California Director of Rural Development for the U.S. Department of Agriculture, a position he held briefly before running for Congress.

In 2002, Nunes was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives for California’s 21st district (later redistricted to the 22nd), beginning a 19-year tenure in Congress as a Republican.

During his time in office, Nunes strongly advocated for agricultural and water issues critical to his Central Valley constituents. His influence grew significantly when he chaired the House Intelligence Committee from 2015 to 2019, gaining national attention—and controversy—for his defense of Donald Trump during the Russia investigation.

In 2018, he authored the “Nunes Memo,” which accused the FBI of bias against Trump, further cementing his loyalty to the former president. In recognition of his efforts, Trump awarded him the Presidential Medal of Freedom in January 2021.

Nunes resigned from Congress on January 1, 2022, to become CEO of Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), the company behind Truth Social. Under his leadership, TMTG went public in 2024 through a SPAC merger, though it faced financial and legal challenges.

In 2025, following Trump’s re-election, Nunes was appointed Chair of the President’s Intelligence Advisory Board, further expanding his influence in national security matters.

Personal Life

Devin Nunes is 51 years old, having been born on October 1, 1973. He has been married once, to Elizabeth Tamariz Nunes, whom he wed on August 23, 2003, at St. Aloysius Church in Washington, D.C.

Elizabeth, a California native and former elementary school teacher, met Devin during his early political career, though specific details of their courtship are private. The couple has remained together for over two decades, with no public record of separations or other marriages.

Devin and Elizabeth have three daughters: Margaret Mary Nunes, born in 2008; Julia Lauren Nunes, born in 2010; and Evelyn Rose Nunes, born in 2013. The family resided in Tulare, California, during Nunes’ congressional tenure, maintaining a low-profile personal life rooted in their Central Valley community.

There is no widely available information on Nunes’ height, as he has not disclosed this detail publicly, and it rarely features in profiles about him.

Net Worth

Due to his evolving career, Devin Nunes’ net worth is subject to varying estimates. During his time in Congress (2003–2022), his net worth was modest, peaking at around $340,000 in 2018 per OpenSecrets, primarily from investments in Napa Valley wineries.

Since resigning to become CEO of Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG) in January 2022, his financial profile has shifted significantly. Forbes estimates Nunes earned roughly $6.3 million from TMTG by late 2024, including a $750,000 salary (raised to $1 million in 2024), bonuses, and housing stipends.

He also holds 115,000 shares of TMTG stock (DJT), valued between $4 million and $7 million, depending on market fluctuations.

Current net worth estimates range widely from $800,000 (reflecting earlier data) to over $47 million (based on recent SEC filings and stock valuations), though the higher figure remains speculative without full asset disclosure.
