Donald Trump, who took office as the president of the United States on January 20, 2025, is currently ranked as the 560th richest person in the world according to Forbes’ real-time billionaire list. His wealth, valued at US$ 5.8 billion (approximately R$ 34.30 billion), experienced a drop compared to his net worth of US$ 6.7 billion at the time of his inauguration. This fluctuation is mainly attributed to his significant stake in the Truth Social platform, whose parent company, Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), saw its stock prices decline over the course of the month.
Trump’s wealth has been closely tied to the performance of TMTG, where he holds a 60% stake in the company’s floating shares. His fortune also includes a variety of global assets, such as real estate properties, luxury items, and a private jet. Additionally, he has ventured into the cryptocurrency market with the launch of a meme-based token, $TRUMP, which briefly reached a market value of US$ 6 billion. His investments span industries like technology, media, and luxury goods, further diversifying his portfolio.
In 2024, Trump saw his wealth grow from US$ 2.5 billion to US$ 6.1 billion, which earned him a spot on Forbes’ list of the 400 richest Americans. As of September 2024, he was ranked 319th in this list with a net worth of US$ 4.3 billion. His wealth remains heavily reliant on TMTG’s value, but he also maintains significant holdings in real estate, including properties like golf courses and high-end residences. Despite fluctuations in market value, Trump’s diversified investments continue to be central to his financial standing.
