Donald Trump, now elected as the 47th president of the United States, holds a wide-ranging financial portfolio, with an estimated net worth of $6.6 billion as of November 2024. In June of this year, the Bloomberg Billionaires Index placed his wealth even higher, at $7.7 billion.
The Economic Times reported a major rise in Trump's earnings, noting that his income surged by $3.4 billion in 2024. Much of his wealth is tied to high-value real estate assets, including iconic properties like Trump Tower and a substantial share in 1290 Avenue of the Americas. Trump also has a stake in the Trump Media & Technology Group, expanding his reach into media.
At age 78, Trump has amassed a variety of assets: luxury golf courses, private mansions, a winery, and even a 1991 Boeing 757 known as "Trump Force One." He began his career working with his father, Fred Trump, who specialized in affordable housing developments in Brooklyn and Queens.
Here’s a breakdown of Trump's major financial assets and sources of income:
The Trump Organization: This entity manages several luxury properties, including Trump Tower in New York City and the famous Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida. It’s also responsible for Trump-branded hotels, residences, and high-end golf courses across the world.
Commercial Real Estate: Trump owns valuable shares in significant commercial real estate. For instance, he holds a $500 million stake in the Manhattan office building at 1290 Avenue of the Americas and the $300 million Trump National Doral Miami Golf Resort, as per News18 reports.
Trump Media & Technology Group: Trump owns approximately 57% of this media company. The company’s stock, DJT, surged to a high of $51.51 per share on October 29, 2024, valuing Trump’s stake at around $5.9 billion. However, a subsequent sell-off led to a dramatic $2.4 billion decrease by early November, with shares down 34% from their October peak. Market volatility continued, with trading halts even occurring on Election Day, November 5.
Cryptocurrency Investments: Trump reportedly has over $1 million invested in cryptocurrency and has earned profits through the sale of non-fungible tokens (NFTs).
Political Fundraising: Trump's companies received funds from political campaigns and events, with the Trump Organization’s properties often utilized for campaign functions, as noted by News18.
Branding and Licensing: Trump earns royalties by licensing his name on various products, ranging from clothing lines to household goods.
Presidential Earnings and Allowances:
As president, Trump will receive a compensation package that includes several allowances. According to Business Today, he will have access to:
- A $50,000 expense allowance for official and personal duties.
- A $100,000 non-taxable travel fund for official trips.
- A $19,000 entertainment allowance for events.
