Overview

  • A New Yorker investigation estimates that the Trump family pocketed roughly $3.4 billion in profit tied to Donald Trump’s presidency by the end of his second term.
  • Major gains stem from Gulf real-estate projects overseen by the Trump Organization, a luxury Boeing 747 gift from Qatar and additional Mar-a-Lago membership and event fees.
  • Trump Media’s crypto initiatives and token sales are credited with generating approximately $1.3 billion in the total enrichment.
  • A reported $2 billion investment from a Saudi crown prince–led fund into Jared Kushner’s private equity firm is said to have contributed at least $320 million to family profits.
  • Forensic accountants warn that opaque ownership structures, illiquid valuations and limited disclosures mean the exact size of presidential profits remains uncertain and ethics inquiries are intensifying.
