What makes up the majority of Donald Trump's net worth?

By far, the lion's share of Trump's net worth comes from cryptocurrency and liquid assets, according to Forbes. Trump is flush with cash thanks to his cryptocurrency sales, which have added around $2 billion to his wealth in the past ten months.

Second to stablecoins and memecoins, Trump’s social-media venture has made him billions. Trump Media & Technology Group Corp (NASDAQ: DJT), the parent company of his social network, Truth Social, generated sales of just $3.6 million last year, but due to noise around Trump on a daily basis, shares in his company remain highly priced, leaving him with billions. The media company went public via a merger with the special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) Digital World Acquisition Company in March 2024.

A chunk of Trump's net worth also comes from real estate. Forbes estimates this to be worth $1.2 billion.

This includes his 30% stake in 1290 Avenue of the Americas in New York and 555 California Street in San Francisco, both valued at $1.4 billion and $1.6 billion, respectively.

Among Trump's other properties are Trump Tower ($215 million) in New York, 17 condos in Trump Park Avenue in New York ($94 million), Trump Winery ($44 million) in Virginia, and four homes in Florida, which are worth around $92 million.

He also owns an 11,000-square-foot Trump Tower penthouse in New York, several residential lots in California worth $50 million, and Seven Springs — a $30 million private estate in Bedford, New York.

Trump’s golf clubs and resorts are valued at $1.3 billion. The operating profits at his ten golf courses in six different states boomed from $19 million in 2020 to $66 million in 2024. He also owns three European golf properties – one in Ireland, two in Scotland – both valued at $118 million. The Trump Organization declared losses of over $100 million at these resorts, but business seems to have picked up in recent months, according to Forbes.

He owns several resorts, including the private club Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach worth $490 million, and the Trump National Doral Miami, worth $390 million.

According to Time, Trump also received £3 million in income from Bibles sold on musician Lee Greenwood’s website. Greenwood is a close ally of Trump. The president also brought in $2.8 million from Trump watches and $2.5 million from Trump sneakers and fragrances.

Other assets held by Trump include $11 million for a helicopter and aeroplane, $5 million in loans made to his children, and a licensing and management business worth $501 million. Trump’s pensions are worth $2 million.

How much have Trump's legal problems cost?

What lies in the debit column, detracting from Trump's net worth? Forbes estimated his legal liabilities at $95 million. This comes after a New York appeals court threw out a $500 million civil fraud penalty case against Trump, bringing down how much he needed to shell out. The judges stated that while Trump was liable for fraud, paying nearly half a billion dollars was excessive and couldn’t be justified.

How Donald Trump's net worth has fluctuated over time

Forbes estimated Donald Trump's net worth to be around $200 million back in 1982, rising to $1.7 billion by 1989. However, his net worth plunged in the 1990s, and he fell off the Forbes 400 list for the first half of the decade.

In 1996, he was worth about $450 million. From there, Trump's net worth gradually rose over time, and by 2007 it was $3 billion before tumbling again in 2009, at the end of the Great Recession (December 2007 to June 2009).

In 2009, Trump began building his billions again, reaching $4.5 billion in 2015. Trump's net worth began to decline again in 2016, falling to $3.7 billion before bottoming out during the pandemic at $2.5 billion in 2020 and 2021, likely in part because of closures that shuttered his clubs and resorts.

In 2022, Trump's net worth was $3.2 billion but dropped again, to $2.6 billion, in 2023. In early 2024, he grew his wealth to over $6 billion after Trump Media went public, per the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.

In 2025, a report by State Democracy Defenders Action estimated that his crypto holdings, namely $TRUMP and $MELANIA meme coins and a stake in World Liberty Financial (a Decentralised finance, or DeFi, tied to his family) were nearly 40% of his net worth – approximately $2.9 billion.

After Trump returned to office, his net worth jumped to $7.3 billion, up from $3.9 billion in 2024.
