Donald Trump has made a surprising financial comeback, doubling his net worth from $2.3 billion

to $5.1 billion since returning to office, according to Forbes.

Once facing a $454 million fraud case, with only $413 million in cash, Trump convinced an appeals court to reduce the judgment to $175 million.

The turning point came when he took Truth Social’s parent company public, earning millions from Trump-supporting

investors. He also launched a series of ventures — selling Bibles, guitars, shoes — before striking gold with crypto.

Trump and his sons founded World Liberty Financial, a crypto business that reportedly earned him $245 million after taxes.

Days before his second inauguration, Trump introduced $TRUMP, a meme coin that Forbes estimates earned him at least $110 million more.

The revelations sparked ethical concerns online. Critics pointed out the irony of Trump profiting while claiming he doesn’t

take a presidential salary and while condemning figures like Nancy Pelosi for allegedly enriching themselves through public service.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt emphasized Trump’s opposition to insider trading,

highlighting Pelosi’s stock portfolio, which allegedly grew 70% in 2024 despite her modest congressional salary.
