$6.5 Billion: Trump's Net Worth Soars as Crypto Earnings Skyrocket

The net worth of US President Donald Trump has tripled in two years, with most of his earnings coming from cryptocurrency. This comes after it was revealed that he earned more than $1 billion from crypto during the first year of his second term as president.

A mandatory financial report showed that Trump's personal wealth increased significantly since 2024, going from roughly $2.23 billion to $6.5 billion as of May this year. This growth is largely attributed to his cryptocurrency ventures, which began in January 2025 with the launch of the $TRUMP meme coin.

Despite a 97% drop in value since entering the market, Trump earns a transfer fee every time one is bought or sold, allowing him to continue profiting from the coin. His sons, Eric and Don Jr., are responsible for managing his business operations, which has led some critics to raise concerns about potential conflicts of interest.

Some have compared Trump's earnings to those of previous presidents, noting that Obama's wealth grew by 47% due to royalties on books written before office, while Bush's net worth increased by 35%. Biden's net worth is said to have only grown by 5% in his first two years as president.
