A

wealthy, imperious politician with ties to billionaires owns a hospitality empire. While serving in office, his family helps run the business empire he refused to divest. Conflict of interest allegations surrounding the properties just don’t seem to stick.

California governor Gavin Newsom may be posting like Donald Trump on social media, but clearly, the similarities don’t end there. The rumored presidential hopeful was a businessman before and while he ran for office, and built a brand of his own: PlumpJack Group, which he started with investors including oil heir and billionaire Gordon Getty, a family friend. Today, PlumpJack is a power player in both Napa Valley’s wine industry and San Francisco’s social scene.
