A review by the editorial board of The New York Times using analysis from multiple news organizations has revealed how Trump ‘used the office of the presidency to make at least $1.4 billion’.
And that’s an ‘underestimate’ too, the piece noting ‘some of his profits remain hidden from public view’. But how have the Trumps monopolized so much of his presidency?Overseas endeavours, golf clubs and resorts
Well, since he was re-elected, Trump’s name has been licensed overseas, raking in a reported $23 million, according to Reuters.
The Trump family have also reportedly earned a whopping $33 million from the president’s golf clubs. Not only that, but Trump has buttered up other countries to get a sweeter deal to expand his property empire.
For example, in Vietnam, the Trump empire has just amassed a $1.5 billion golf complex outside of Hanoi after backtracking on the severity of the tariffs it threatened to impose.
The Trump Organization is currently reported as chasing hotels and office towers from everywhere to Oman to Riyadh in Saudi Arabia, deals of which have cashed in millions.
And that’s not ignoring Qatar’s gifting of a $400 million jet to Trump to use as Air Force One while he’s president. However, it doesn’t come with a return label, even after he’s left the White House.
And that’s only a fraction of what the Trump family have raked in from their crypto assets.Last year, the Trump administration made a big push towards cryptocurrency, with the President aiming to make America the ‘crypto capital of the world’.
According to Reuters, a pitch was made to a Chinese businessman and his associates to buy at least $20 million in World Liberty tokens, owned by the Trump family, as ‘governance tokens’.
However, in June last year, the Trump family pot actually ended up increasing by even more than pitched, $100 million of World Liberty tokens bought by a company, Aqua1 Foundation, said to be based in the United Arab Emirates, with a spokesperson for the foundation telling Reuters that their investment in World Liberty tokens ‘was a commercial decision consistent with its focus on advancing regulated, scalable digital-asset ecosystems’.
By the end of the first half of 2026, Reuters reports Trump crypto ventures amassed a staggering $802 million – more than $463 million coming from sales of World Liberty tokens alone and then $336 from sales of a Trump meme coin, $TRUMP.
