Overview
- The New Yorker investigation, citing public records and interviews, estimates the Trump family has received at least $3.4 billion in additional gains since President Trump’s second inauguration.
- Roughly $2.4 billion of the reported gains derive from cryptocurrency ventures, including the launch and promotion of meme-coins $TRUMP and $MELANIA under relaxed regulatory policies.
- Investments and gifts from Gulf states, notably a reported $2 billion infusion from a Saudi-controlled fund and a luxury jet from Qatar, contributed significant sums to the family’s coffers.
- Mar-a-Lago and Trump Organization properties collected over $125 million in extra revenue by hosting state guests, campaign events and charging steep membership fees.
- Ethics experts warn that cryptocurrency anonymity combined with presidential-business overlap poses conflicts of interest, and the Trump family has disputed the estimates in the absence of any formal legal findings.
