Donald Trump’s new eye-watering net worth revealed – and it’s nearly tripled since becoming president
In addition to his lucrative real estate investments, such as his golf courses, mansions, and winery, one of the key vehicles driving Trump’s boost in net worth is thought to be crypto.
As of 29 December, the 79-year-old Republican is worth a staggering $6.6 billion.
In September 2024, Trump joined forces with his three sons to unveil World Liberty Financial. It spluttered at first, and then he won the election.
Trump, who once said cryptocurrency generally ‘seems like a scam’ and that crypto is a ‘disaster waiting to happen’, appeared to change his tune halfway through his presidential campaign to return to office.
His campaign website invited supporters to send donations in crypto, claiming that Trump ‘stands ready to embrace new technologies that will Make America Great Again’.
