BREAKING: Trump's Stolen Net Worth EXPOSED In Bombshell New Article
Donald Trump ran for president twice promising to drain the swamp. He is now the swamp.
Since returning to the White House in January 2025, he has used the office to make himself and his family richer than any president in American history, and he has done it in the open, with no apologies and no guardrails.
Forbes puts his net worth at $6.2 billion today, up from $2.3 billion in early 2024. Investors have poured money into businesses tied to his family. The new White House ballroom is being paid for by donors who have business before the government. Agencies have handed no-bid contracts to firms friendly to the administration.
The Family Business
It isn’t only Trump who has cashed in. By last September the whole family, including Melania, his children, and son-in-law Jared Kushner, was worth roughly $10 billion, nearly double its value at the time of the 2024 election. Donald Trump Jr. went from $50 million in November 2024 to $300 million a year later. Eric Trump’s fortune grew tenfold, to about $400 million.
These aren’t men with a track record of brilliant investments. They are the sons of a sitting president, and they have been collecting accordingly. ProPublica reported that the White House stepped in to secure a $620 million deal for an obscure rare-earth magnet company connected to Trump Jr. A drone company the older sons held a stake in also landed a Pentagon contract. Both have announced real estate and cryptocurrency deals across the U.S. and the Middle East.
Trading Stocks From the Oval Office
Trump’s latest federal disclosure showed more than 3,700 stock trades in the first three months of the year, worth tens of millions of dollars. No sitting president in the modern era has traded individual stocks like this.
The conflicts aren’t subtle. He bought more than $1 million of Dell stock early in the year, around the same time he was telling Americans to “go out and buy a Dell.” Dell’s founder and his wife had just pledged $6.25 billion to fund government “Trump Accounts” for children, and the Pentagon soon announced a $9.7 billion contract with the company.
Then there was oil. In March, about a month into the Iran war, Trump announced “productive” talks with Iran. Oil prices fell on the news. That same day, his brokerage account spent the session buying oil stocks. He moved the market, then traded it, in a matter of hours.
He Took Down the Rules First
None of this happened by accident. Trump dismantled the guardrails before he started cashing in. He skipped the ethics pledge he had taken in his first term and rescinded the ethics rules Biden put in place. Early in 2025 he fired the director of the Office of Government Ethics, which has had no permanent head since. The 2024 Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity, which shields a president from prosecution for “official” acts, can be read broadly enough to feel like a blank check. He has also staffed his second term with advisers not known for pushing back.
The IRS Fight
A settlement Trump secured would bar the IRS from auditing past returns filed by him or his family, a provision that could reportedly save him $100 million if he were ever found to have committed tax fraud. On May 29, a federal judge in Florida reopened his lawsuit against the IRS to weigh whether the whole thing was an abuse of the court system.
The Bottom Line
The White House insists there are no conflicts. “This is the same, tired narrative that Democrats have pushed against President Trump for a decade,” said principal deputy press secretary Anna Kelly. “President Trump only acts in the best interests of the American public.”
So consider the record. His net worth tripled. His sons made hundreds of millions. Foreign governments put money into his crypto firm and got policy in return. He traded stocks on information only he had. He tried to wall off his own tax returns from the IRS. He fired the ethics director and tore up the ethics rules. If that is what acting in the best interests of the American public looks like, the public might want a closer look.
He ran on draining the swamp. Now he’s charging admission.
