Donald Trump’s wealth has increased sharply since he returned to the White House in January 2025. The US president is now estimated to be worth around $6 billion, compared with $2.3 billion in 2024, according to Forbes. This means his estimated wealth has increased by about $3.7 billion.
Because he is serving as president, he said his sons manage the company and argued that it would be difficult to ask them to stop all business activities for four years simply. Trump’s company, CIC Digital LLC, reported around $635 million from sales of the $Trump meme coin. Another major source was World Liberty Financial, a cryptocurrency company founded in 2024 by Trump, special envoy Steve Witkoff and their sons, as cited by the New York Post. This may be linked to a reported deal in January 2025 in which part of the company was sold to businesses associated with Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed al-Nahyan, the United Arab Emirates’ national security adviser. Trump also reported around $205 million in proceeds from stablecoin investments. These cryptocurrency-related earnings made up a major part of Trump’s reported income in 2025 and contributed significantly to the increase in his estimated fortune, as cited by the New York Post. His disclosures showed nearly $8.5 million in licensing fees from four construction projects located in Delhi, Gurgaon, Hyderabad and Noida. Trump also received $5 million from a resort project in Vietnam. Local officials approved the project in 2025, as cited by the New York Post. Trump reported around $13 million in licensing and management fees from the city, where he is developing an 80-storey skyscraper announced in April 2025. His disclosures also showed $10 million in licensing fees from Abu Dhabi in the UAE. Saudi Arabia contributed another $9.2 million in reported income. During the 60 Minutes interview, Trump defended his family’s decision to continue running its businesses while he is president.
This was one of the largest individual sources of income listed in his financial disclosures . This included money from selling part of Stablecoin Holdco, a company linked to World Liberty Financial and its USD1 stablecoin. India was another important source of income for Trump’s business. Dubai was another major source of foreign business income. Luxury real estate projects in Riyadh and Jeddah are currently under construction. These deals show how Trump’s business continues to earn money through international real estate projects, including golf clubs, resorts, skyscrapers and luxury developments.
