Trump’s net worth increased by $2.2 billion to $3 billion from 2024 to 2025, according to estimates by The New York Times and Forbes.
Trump’s financial disclosures show that $1.4 billion of that growth came from his cryptocurrency ventures. Another $400 million came from other business ventures or legal settlements.
Forbes editor Dan Alexander, who tracks Trump’s financial earnings, posted on X after the “60 Minutes” interview that very little of Trump’s earnings come from stock holdings…

Trump’s financial disclosure form shows he took in at least $2.2 billion in 2025, up from $622 million in 2024, before he began his second term. A Forbes analysis estimated that Trump is $2.7 billion richer than he was in 2024.
Experts said it’s not plausible that overhead or added expenses could have eaten up all that extra income.
The scale of Trump’s wealth gains during his presidency dwarf those of recent presidents.

“It did occur to me to make Elon Musk the guy in the cartoon. After all, the newly minted trillionaire is very much the poster child for an absurd concentration of wealth leading to an absurd concentration of power.
But I thought that would be letting all the other tech-bro billionaires off the hook. And there are plenty of them out there rigging systems, undermining democratic principles, and aligning with political authoritarians to spread fear so they can further concentrate their wealth and power...”

“Neither the President nor his family has ever engaged – or will ever engage – in conflicts of interest,” said Anna Kelly, a White House spokesperson. “President Trump proudly made the United States the crypto capital of the world through executive actions, supporting legislation like the GENIUS Act, and other commonsense policies to drive innovation and economic opportunity for all Americans.”
Kelly added that “all actions by President Trump and his administration are taken in the best interest of the American people – and any so-called ‘reporters’ pushing otherwise are recycling the same, tired, false narrative that Democrats and the legacy media have been pushing for a decade”...

If it can be made to work, the treaty could be a big step forward in making fossil fuel producers pay for the damage they cause, and in ensuring the richest contribute. Inequality rates have soared in recent years, with the wealthiest 0.001% of the population – roughly 56,000 people – holding three times more wealth than the poorer 50%, and the disparity is growing...

There is no shortage of wealth in the health care industry, especially so at the three privately operated hospital groups at which nurses are striking," Mamdani said Monday at the picket line outside New York-Presbyterian's upper Manhattan hospital campus. "But for too many of the 15,000 NYSNA nurses who are on strike, they are not able to make their ends meet."
Mamdani's framing aligns with the union's strategy of focusing on hospital executives' seven- and eight-figure pay packages throughout its contract campaign. The union launched a website called "NYC Hospital Greed" to highlight the substantial sums going to hospital leaders, including Montefiore CEO Philip Ozuah's $16.4 million compensation package from 2023, and projects like Mount Sinai's $100 million artificial intelligence center...
