Trump net worth rises 183% in second term, with most gains from new ventures

U.S. President Donald Trump’s net worth has risen 183% since the start of his second term, with about 74% of the increase coming from new ventures launched during his presidency, according to a chart Wall Street financier Steve Rattner shared on X. The chart showed about 26% of Trump’s second-term wealth increase came from preexisting assets such as real estate and golf businesses, while the remaining roughly 74% came from new businesses started after he took office, including the cryptocurrencies WLFI and TRUMP, Trump Media and licensing deals. Meanwhile, the first-two-year net worth gains of the three previous presidents were 35% for Bush, 47% for Obama and 5% for Biden, with their combined total still amounting to less than half of Trump’s increase.
