Overview

• The New Yorker’s deep-dive investigation finds that Donald Trump and his immediate family have amassed about $3.4 billion in profits tied directly to his two presidential terms.
• Cryptocurrency ventures—including token sales, memecoin fees and Trump Media crypto investments—account for approximately $2.37 billion of the estimated gains.
• Significant inflows from foreign-linked sources, such as a reported $2 billion investment tied to the Saudi crown prince and a luxury jet gift from Qatar, bolster the total.
• Forensic accountants and ethics experts warn that limited disclosure and opaque ownership arrangements render the figures provisional and contestable.
• White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt dismissed the report’s findings as “absolutely absurd,” even as lawmakers and watchdogs call for tighter scrutiny of presidential-linked finances.
