You should not be shocked. There is little Trump does without reaping a personal benefit.

According to Perplexity:

President Trump's net worth has seen substantial growth since his inauguration in January 2025, primarily fueled by cryptocurrency investments and related ventures. Forbes estimates it more than doubled in 2025, reaching around $6.6 billion by early January 2026.

Key Drivers

Crypto holdings emerged as the biggest factor, with Bloomberg noting the Trump family's wealth expansion into digital assets, generating at least $1.4 billion in his second term through policies like crypto-friendly legislation. Trump Media (DJT) shares, however, dropped sharply by 67% through 2025, underperforming broader markets like the Nasdaq (up 18%).

Family Gains

Donald Trump Jr.'s net worth reportedly increased sixfold in 2025, tied to crypto and the $2 billion raised by 1789 Capital. Overall billionaire wealth, including Trump allies, rose 22% to $8.2 trillion in 2025 amid tax breaks for the top 1%.
