Trump's personal net worth has increased by $3 billion in the past year

BlockBeats News, September 9th, according to Fortune magazine, Donald Trump has just had the most profitable year of his life. Now, the former president's net worth has reached a record $7.3 billion, a significant increase from $4.3 billion when he ran for re-election in 2024. The $3 billion surge has propelled him up 118 spots on the Forbes 400 Richest list, ranking him 201st this year.

Never in U.S. history has a president been able to leverage his position of power to amass such a vast fortune as Trump has. His primary wealth-building tool has been cryptocurrency—an asset class rife with hype and, at the same time, highly regulated risks.
