Deep Tide TechFlow News, April 14, According to the Associated Press, Forbes estimates that Trump’s current net worth is approximately $6.3 billion, a surge of about 60% compared to before his return to the White House. This growth mainly stems from multiple business expansions by the Trump family during his second term: overseas real estate projects completed 8 transactions in over a year, involving countries such as Qatar, Vietnam, and Saudi Arabia; in the cryptocurrency sector, World Liberty Financial’s token sales raised over $2 billion, and the Trump commemorative coin generated about $320 million in revenue for related entities within four months.

Additionally, his children have benefited by investing in several companies seeking government contracts, including drone manufacturers, rocket engine firms, and AI chip suppliers. Many government ethics experts and historians have expressed concerns, believing that these transactions could blur the lines between policy decisions and family interests, setting a precedent for future presidents to profit from their office. In response, the White House stated that Trump acts in a “moral manner,” and the Trump Organization also denied any conflicts of interest.
