Fact-check: “Ro Khanna's net worth is $27,000,000.”
Verdict: Partly True (52% confidence)
The $27 million figure traces directly to the Los Angeles Times wealth project, which calculated a minimum net worth of $27.0 million from Khanna's financial disclosures — but explicitly labeled it a floor estimate, not an exact figure. OpenSecrets estimated his 2017 net worth at roughly $45.8 million, which is substantially higher. The underlying disclosures confirm he is a multimillionaire in the tens-of-millions range, but no primary source establishes $27 million as his precise net worth.
