On January 20, Donald Trump will complete the first year of his second presidential term. The United States President was already a billionaire when he began his fresh stint in 2025, but his net worth
has grown considerably since then—and in unusual ways.
According to recent estimates from financial trackers like Forbes and Bloomberg, Trump’s personal fortune rested roughly between about $6.5 billion and $7.7 billion by late 2025, though figures fluctuate with markets and asset valuations.
Traditionally known for real estate holdings, such as golf courses and branded properties, and licensing deals, Trump’s wealth profile has shifted dramatically.
According to Firstpost, the US President’s company Trump Media and Technology Group (TMTG), which owns Truth Social, has become one of his largest assets. A merger with TAE Technologies valued the business at around $6 billion, drawing scrutiny because the White House oversees industries the company now touches.
The report also details that Trump and his family have launched several blockchain ventures, including the $TRUMP memecoin, the World Liberty Financial token, and the stablecoin USD1. These assets generated hundreds of millions in fees and valuations at their peak. In addition, Trump Media has been raising capital to build bitcoin reserves, signalling a long-term crypto strategy embedded in his business interests.
In May, Eric Trump revealed that a company supported by a United Arab Emirates sovereign wealth fund planned to invest $2 billion in another firm through World Liberty Financial’s cryptocurrency. The deal generated significant fees for the Trump family. About two weeks later, the White House authorised the sale of advanced computer chips to an Emirati company controlled by the same chairman behind the $2 billion crypto investment.
As per The Economic Times, cryptocurrency is now a core factor in the President’s wealth growth, though it remains volatile. At times in 2025, crypto holdings and related business valuations accounted for much of Trump’s net worth surge, pushing him back into lists of the richest global billionaires. However, crypto downturns, including bitcoin price drops and token sell-offs, have also shaved over a billion dollars off his net worth at times.
In September, Forbes estimated that Trump’s digital assets were valued at $709 million in memecoin tokens, $338 million in World Liberty Financial tokens, and $235 million tied to USD1.
Trump’s 2025 financial disclosure revealed income from $3 million in fees from Bible sales, $1 million from “45” guitars, $2.8 million from Trump watches, and $2.5 million from sneakers and fragrances, Firstpost reported.
By the end of 2025, estimates of Donald Trump’s wealth varied widely. Forbes put his net worth in the range of roughly $6.7 billion to $7.3 billion, while The New York Times argued it may be closer to $10 billion, noting that a large share of that value sits in assets that are difficult to sell or convert to cash.
FAMILY WEALTH
The financial upswing hasn’t been limited to Trump himself. Several members of his family have seen their personal fortunes surge as well. Forbes reported that Donald Trump Jr’s net worth increased six-fold in just one year. After joining a venture capital firm as a partner in 2024, that firm went on to secure at least four contracts from the Trump administration, according to the Financial Times. Its portfolio included investments in companies such as Elon Musk’s SpaceX and defence technology firm Anduril, and Trump Jr reportedly earned millions through deals approved during his father’s presidency.
Melania Trump also drew attention for a lucrative media deal. The Wall Street Journal reported that Amazon Studios paid her about $28 million for a documentary centered on her life. While exclusive access to a First Lady is widely seen as valuable, the scale of the payout stood out—especially when compared with figures like Michael Jordan, who reportedly earned around $3 million for a comprehensive, behind-the-scenes documentary.
