He’s the son of William and Tessa Newsom and is a fourth-generation San Franciscan. His father is a well-known advocate for otters and a former state appeals court judge.

After suffering from dyslexia for most of his pre-teen years, he was able to move on to the Redwood High School where he played baseball and basketball. Prior to his graduation in 1985, he was the outfielder in baseball and shooting guard in basketball, thanks to which he earned himself a place on the “Marin Independent Journal” that he covered in the late 1980s. Gavin then entered the Santa Clara University that he graduated from in 1989 with a Bachelor of Science in political science.
Being a businessman that has many professions is what made the 40th Governor of California so rich. In May 1991, he and his investors created the company “Plump Jack Associates” and one year later, they founded the “Plump Jack Winery” that brought an annual income of an estimated $100,000 per year for Newsom.
Eventually, his business boomed quickly and it grew to an enterprise with more than 700 employees. By the early 2000s, it already had investors that helped open other businesses in various cities, mostly in California.
In the year 1995, Gavin began pursuing a political career. His first political experience came in the successful campaign of Willie Brown who became the mayor that year. Just a little over one year after that, Newsom became a member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, where he replaced Kevin Shelley.

For his participation, according to the media and newspapers, he earned an estimated $5 million.
