Trump family’s wealth increased by $2 billion in four months in power
Thanks to investments and crypto
The net worth of U.S. President Donald Trump and his family has grown by $2 billion in just four months after his return to the White House. This includes not only Trump’s personal fortune but also the financial success of his flagship real estate company, the Trump Organization, currently led by his sons — Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump.
Among the most profitable ventures are cryptocurrencies. On the eve of the January 20 inauguration, Trump’s team launched meme tokens TRUMP and MELANIA, which entered the top market-cap cryptocurrencies within a day. According to The New York Times, the TRUMP token is directly managed by Trump Jr. Recently, the president hosted a private dinner at his Virginia golf club — exclusively for those who invested at least $1 million in his crypto. The event sparked mixed reactions, with guests complaining about a mediocre menu and tense atmosphere.
Another major financial stream comes from investments from the Gulf countries. World Liberty Financial, a company linked to the Trump family, raised $2 billion from a UAE investment fund. After launching the crypto project, the family sold off millions worth of tokens. The stablecoin USD1, created by this company, reached a market cap of $2.1 billion by early May.
In parallel projects, the Trump brand is actively expanding in the Middle East. Qatar invested $5.5 billion in a Trump-branded golf club and villas, while a Saudi company with government ties invested $1 billion in building the Trump International Hotel and Tower in Dubai. The same company is planning large-scale expansion of the brand in Saudi Arabia and Oman.
Equally ambitious are the plans of Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner. His company, Affinity Global Development, signed a 99-year lease with the Serbian government to build a luxury Trump hotel on the site of the former Yugoslav Ministry of Defense in Belgrade.
Meanwhile, Washington is preparing to launch another high-profile project — the Executive Authority private club, available by invitation only and with a membership fee of over $500,000. The initiative is led by Donald Trump Jr. and a group of influential investors. The club is positioned as a networking platform for billionaires, tech leaders, and the new administration.
In response, Democrats and anti-corruption organizations have raised concerns over an unprecedented level of conflicts of interest. However, Trump’s sons make no secret of their intentions to capitalize on the new opportunities. «We held back during our father’s first term but were still criticized. This time, we see no point in restraint,» said Trump Jr.
