Through the decades Donald Trump's literal fortunes have ebbed and flowed. (Remember, six of his hotels and businesses have filed for bankruptcy protection over the years.) But as he prepares to enter the White House for a second time, Trump has never been richer. His net worth hit $7 billion, according to Forbes estimates this week, a meteoric rise fueled largely by an unlikely source: Truth Social.
Specifically, most of Trump's net worth currently comes from shares of Trump Media & Technology Group, the parent company of the conservative Truth Social platform that launched in 2022. As the majority owner of TMTG, Trump's wealth rises and falls with the stock, which itself has seen wild swings; at the end of October, he lost $1.3 billion on paper in just two days. The company's underlying financials are uninspiring, but its stock price (ticker: DJT) has soared anyway since Trump won the presidential election.
Technically, Trump's DJT shares are now in a revocable trust – of which Trump is the sole beneficiary. Yet they are indirectly his. Because those shares represent billions and billions of dollars belonging to the most powerful person in the world — and because it's fun to watch someone win or lose a billion dollars in a matter of days — we're keeping track of exactly how much Trump's stake in DJT is. it's worth it.
