In Donald Trump’s view, he is the greatest businessman running for the White House.
In 2015, he told an Iowa reporter: “I am the most successful campaigner of all time. I own a Gucci store that is more valuable than Romney.”
This may be a bit exaggerated, but it is not: Ten years have passed, and no modern American president can make his family so much money during the White House.Since his early days of his re-election campaign, his net worth has more than doubled to about $5.4 billion.
During this period, the Trump family’s reputation brought him more than $10 billion in real estate projects, billions of dollars in valuations to his loss-making social media companies, more than $500 million in sales alone, and millions of dollars in revenue through holding stakes in financial services, guns and drone parts companies.His family members also hold a range of positions in the company—Trump’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., has held at least seven new positions as consultants or executives.
Compared with the hustle and bustle of the presidency,Trump’s business empire’s strategy is consistent and clear: selling his family reputation.In any other era, the president’s act of making money on such a large scale could be the focus of the year, but political uproars have taken over the majority of the attention.
In the first few months of Trump’s tenure, he imposed tariffs and canceled some tariffs, blamed Ukraine for the Russian attacks, put immigrants in foreign prisons, and hinted that he would be re-elected for the third term, which is obviously not allowed by the Constitution.In addition, he drastically cut government manpower and budgets, while also reducing institutions and offices that regulate its listed companies, cryptocurrency projects and even conflicts of interest.
Trump relaxed the previous administration’s restrictions on overseas transactions.(He also lets billionaire Elon Musk, who leads the reduction of government spending, manage his own conflict of interest on his own).This week, he plans to have dinner with the main holders of the newly launched Memecoin.
What makes this era even more eye-catching is that Trump was once on the verge of bankruptcy.His first term ended with a Capitol riot, which was then concluded with a $454 million civil fraud sentence and a conviction for forging business records.Trump has appealed these two matters.
Today, his assets are escrowed by his eldest son.Despite rumors of a recession, the family’s wealth is richer than ever.
A White House spokesman said: “President Trump is the most transparent president in all aspects of history, including his financial situation. President Trump has handed over his billion-dollar empire to serve the country and he has made a huge sacrifice. President Trump has disclosed his financial situation through his annual financial disclosure report and he will continue to do so.”
Trump Jr. said he should not change his career because of his father’s power.
“I am a regular citizen and have been a business and serial investor as an adult. It’s ridiculous to expect me to give up on my usual practice of raising five kids just because my dad was elected president.”
The next question examines the relationship businesses, crypto projects and licensing agreements used by the Trump family since the start of the 2024 campaign, thus achieving an unprecedented leap in wealth.
1. Real Estate
This term for the president is different from his first term when his plan to resolve conflicts of interest depends on placing his assets in a trust supervised by two old sons and agreeing not to conduct any new overseas transactions.This time, the restricted area is a new deal with other governments.This opens the door to other opportunities.These real estate developments often involve luxury hotels and residences authorized to use the Trump-branded brand, including three Middle Eastern countries the president visited this month.Two projects link the Trump Group to government agencies in Oman and Qatar.
Trump International Oman
Relationship with Trump Family: Trump Group
Partners: Dar Global and Omran Group
Project value: $500 million
Release date: June 2024
Oman Muscat, Trump Group has profited from a deal related to the Omani government.The development includes hotels, golf courses and residences, allowing the president’s family to form a business partnership with allies in the United States.Trump International Omani claims to be the “ultimate power move” and is built for “investment to winners.”The project was developed by Dar Global, an international subsidiary of Saudi real estate giant Dar Al Arkan, in partnership with Oman State-owned Tourism Group, and the slogan was “Trump professionally managed by letting go investment while you can passively earn income” while providing investors with a lifetime residence visa.Trump Jr. and Eric Trump smiled at a press conference in June, with the slogan of “power move” being shown there in big words.Meanwhile, Oman has been playing a central role in high-risk nuclear negotiations with Iran.
Trump Tower Jeddah

Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, in December last year, when the head of Dar Global introduced the “large-scale” and “super-high-end” Trump Tower to a group of politicians, he said that the two brands of Saudi Arabia and Trump represent grandeur and resilience.Both are well traded: The building, which will be completed in 2029, promotes Saudi residence rights to anyone spending about $1 million.Eric Trump was one of the first to stand up applause for the 47-storey waterfront development.
Trump Riyadh
Relationship with Trump Family: Trump Group
Partner: Dar Global
Project value: approximately US$530 million
Announcement time: December 2024
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, weeks after the election, the Trumps and Dar Global announced that they would conduct two projects in the Saudi capital, and instead provided too much detail, they used a lot of adjectives: iconic, huge, prestigious, unparalleled.This is also another commercial transaction made by the U.S. government in countries of strategic importance.In fact, Trump told reporters hours after the inauguration that if Saudi Arabia buys another “$450 billion or $500 billion” of U.S. products, he would be happy to visit Saudi Arabia.Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman was despised for the murder of Washington Post reporter Jamal Khashoggi, but he has since promised to increase investment.

Partner: Dar Global
Project Value: Over $544 million

Project investment: US$1.5 billion
Signature time: September 2024
In Xing’an, Vietnam, Eric Trump said before his father’s second term began that anyone who wants to please the president through the Trump group is “finding the wrong person.”But the Communist Party of Vietnam may have a different view on this.During Trump’s campaign, the company announced a deal to build a $1.5 billion complex that includes hotels, golf courses and luxury homes in northern Xing’an.An article on the provincial website said the Trump Group’s work will help “enhance Vietnam’s image on the international stage and its relationship with the U.S. government.”In September, a senior official visited Xing’an Province to watch the signing ceremony of the agreement, and Trump himself attended the meeting between his son Eric and Deng Qingxin, chairman of the project developer Jingbeicheng Company.According to a Vietnamese government website, in March, the Vietnamese Prime Minister met with Charles Boyd-Bowman, a partner of Trump and head of Vietnam at the investment company IDG Capital.oyd-Bowman said the Vietnamese government is helping to speed up the project.According to reports from the region, the Trump family is also considering building a new building in Vietnam.

Mar-Lago Manor
Relationship with Trump Family: Trump Group
Membership fee increases: $300,000
Date: October 2024
Palm Beach, Florida, other buildings may be more important to Trump’s career or empire, but nothing can symbolize Trump’s entirety than his magnificent Florida club.Here is where billionaires flock to pay tribute to the president on the territory and the location of confidential documents that triggered the federal case (later rejected).Last year, Trump asked a deputy to point out to reporters that club membership fees would rise to $1 million from $700,000 in October.In the words of former chief strategist Steve Bannon, Mar-Lago could even explain how Trump sees the country: “It’s a prime location. You have to pay extra to get in.”
2. Crypto Industry
Just four years ago, Trump called Bitcoin a scam.Now, he has transformed into an avid supporter of cryptocurrencies, selling a range of digital products in his own name.And those cryptocurrency executives and companies who donated millions of dollars to Trump’s return to the White House hope to influence policies.Trump’s inauguration weekend held a grand cryptocurrency dance, convening cabinet members and “high IQ people” to hold an unprecedented cryptocurrency summit at the White House, establishing the national Bitcoin reserves, and appointing a “cryptocurrency czar.”At the same time, the price of virtual currencies also affects Trump’s wealth.He owns his own memecoin, promoting a cryptocurrency platform co-founded by one of his senior envoys, and his social media company has also announced plans to sell cryptocurrency investment products.These Trump family businesses are preparing to make profits as Trump builds the United States into the “global cryptocurrency capital.”

Meme Coins: TRUMP and MELANIA
Relationship with Trump Family: Donald Trump and Melania Trump
Transaction Fees and Other Revenue: US$350 million
First time for sale: January 2025
Delaware, because Meme coins have no practical uses other than making money through attention—these volatile, joking cryptocurrencies essentially lack specific underlying assets in their design—so they make sense for a former reality star.Even so, Democratic officials and even cryptocurrency veterans have criticized Trump and his wife for the Meme coins released on the eve of the inauguration.By April this year, when he announced that he would hold a private dinner for his main holders, the relative peak of Meme had lost most of its value, many of whom used foreign exchanges to indicate their stationed overseas.Democratic Senator Chris Murphy called it “the most blatant corrupt thing the president has ever done.”(A White House spokesman said Trump complies with the conflict of interest law.) Previously, regulators have been considering whether Meme coins should be treated as securities, which would incur stricter regulations.About a month after the launch of the $TRUMP and $MELANIA currencies, the US SEC issued a statement: No, Meme coins are not securities, but “similar to collectibles” and are subject to corresponding regulation.
