Trump wins again.
President Donald Trump’s wealth has experienced a significant boost, increasing by $3.6 billion in the past year, bringing his total net worth to an impressive $6.1 billion, according to Forbes. A major factor behind this surge is his sizable 60% stake in Truth Social’s parent company, which has become a dominant asset in his financial portfolio. This stake represents more than half of his overall net worth, highlighting how his investment in social media has paid off.
Trump’s diverse portfolio extends beyond Truth Social. He owns a substantial collection of real estate, including iconic skyscrapers, luxury hotels, golf courses, and private estates, valued at over $1.1 billion. His business empire also includes a licensing operation and a variety of branded products. These investments have made him one of the wealthiest individuals in the world, and his ventures continue to generate substantial revenue.
During his time as president, Trump’s businesses saw remarkable financial success. From 2017 to 2020, his companies generated over $2.4 billion in revenue, with around $550 million in income, a record for any U.S. president. His campaign committee and affiliated PACs raised more than $1.4 billion for his 2024 re-election bid, further solidifying his financial dominance. Notably, Trump has not personally funded his political campaigns, instead relying on donations and the funds raised through his extensive network of businesses.
While Trump does carry some debt, estimated at over $1.5 billion in liabilities across multiple properties, his financial outlook remains strong. In early 2024, his net worth dipped briefly but surged back after Truth Social’s parent company went public, reaching as high as $7 billion at one point. Despite the volatility of the stock market, Trump’s financial resilience demonstrates the power of his business acumen and his ability to leverage new opportunities for growth.
