What He MadeLast checked October 29, 2026

How this was put together

Every figure and finding links to government filings, court records, company filings or news reporting. Each figure says what kind of number it is, whose money it is and the date it’s from. Stock and token values are as of the date shown and aren’t updated live.

If Trump, his company or his family denied something or responded, that’s in the finding.

Research runs in rounds. Each figure and finding is drafted with its sources, then checked twice, separately, against every cited page. Anything that doesn’t hold up is dropped.

How the money is counted

Disclosed
Income listed on Trump’s federal financial disclosure, which includes his wife’s, or in a company’s SEC filings.
Estimated
A news outlet’s own calculation of what he or his family took in. Where the outlet gives a range, the total uses the low end.
On paper
Holdings that haven’t been sold, like unsold tokens or Trump Media stock, at the market price on the date shown.
Sales
What a product or a company took in, in total. Only the share that reached the Trump family is their income.
Other money
Money around his businesses that isn’t his or his family’s income, like a settlement paid to his presidential library, investors’ money in a family firm or the value of a gift.

The total adds disclosed and estimated figures for Trump and his family. Each counts once, and where sources disagree it uses the lower number. It isn’t profit, and it isn’t his net worth.

Other people’s totals

News outlets that have added it up count different things over different periods, so their totals don’t match this one.

  1. $3.8 billion

    The New Yorker (David Kirkpatrick), on NPR’s Planet Money: What New Yorker writer David Kirkpatrick counted the Trump family making off the presidency. He called $3.8 billion a minimum and left out deals he judged would likely have happened anyway. It covers crypto, Jared Kushner’s cut of a Saudi investment (about $320 million), Gulf hotel deals (about $105.8 million), merchandise (about $27.7 million), media lawsuit settlements (about $91 million) and about $100 million in campaign money spent on legal defense. It also counts the Qatari jet (about $150 million), which went to the US government, and Trump’s 41% share of Trump Media’s bitcoin and cash (about $1.08 billion to $1.3 billion), which is a holding he hasn’t cashed.

    The White House referred NPR to Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt’s earlier comments. In May 2025 Leavitt called the suggestion that Trump profits from the presidency “frankly, ridiculous” and said, “This is a president who has actually lost money for being president.” The White House has also said there is no conflict because his assets are managed by his eldest sons, Eric and Donald Trump Jr.

  2. $2.3 billion

    Reuters: At least $2.3 billion the Trump family made from four crypto ventures: more than $1.4 billion from World Liberty token sales, about $616 million from the $TRUMP coin, plus American Bitcoin and ALT5 Sigma (now AI Financial Corp). Buyers of the $TRUMP coin lost more than $700 million. Reuters put investors’ net losses across the four ventures at about $2.3 billion at the end of April 2026, including paper losses on holdings they hadn’t sold.

    The White House: “All actions by President Trump and his administration are taken in the best interest of the American people.” A World Liberty spokesperson disputed how Reuters calculated the losses, said the company “does not validate third-party methodologies for valuing governance tokens or estimating aggregate investor positions” and called its token “not an investment product.”

  3. $2 billion to $2.2 billion

    TIME and NPR’s Fresh Air: What Trump made in 2025, read from his annual financial disclosure (927 pages, released by the Office of Government Ethics on June 30, 2026). TIME put it at more than $2 billion, with more than $1.4 billion from crypto. NPR’s Fresh Air, interviewing New York Times reporter Eric Lipton, put it at an estimated $2.2 billion; Lipton said $1.4 billion came from crypto, with World Liberty “a huge source of that.”

    White House spokesperson Anna Kelly said neither the president nor his family “has ever engaged” or “will ever engage” in conflicts of interest. The Trump Organization: “The breadth and depth of this filing further underscores our commitment to transparency.” Trump, answering criticism of the earnings: “You know why I’m profiting, because the stock market’s going up, everybody’s profiting.” On July 1, 2026 he told reporters, “I’ve made a lot of money before I became president, and they invest my money, and I don’t talk to them.”

  4. $864 million

    Reuters: The Trump Organization’s income in the first half of 2025, as calculated by Reuters: $864 million, up 17-fold from $51 million a year earlier. $802 million of it came from crypto ($463 million from World Liberty token sales and $336 million from the $TRUMP coin), $33 million from golf clubs and resorts and $23 million from overseas licensing. Reuters said half a dozen crypto and real estate experts and a certified accountant reviewed its figures.

    World Liberty’s lawyer, Timothy Parlatore: “The Alleged Valuation and Income Analysis of WLFI Is Inaccurate and Misleading.”
