Forbes reveals Donald Trump's wealth has reached $7.3 billion
At the center of the US political scene and global financial system, Donald Trump's capital is growing at a record pace following his historic victory in the 2024 presidential election. According to an updated assessment report by the influential magazine «Forbes», the Republican politician's net worth increased by $2.7 billion overnight following his return to the White House, reaching a total of $7.3 billion. Analysts note that the president's capital has grown by $3 billion in the past year alone. While Trump's wealth was previously anchored by Manhattan skyscrapers and hotels, today the landscape has completely changed: his main revenue driver has become the crypto industry and digital assets.
Most sensationally, nearly a third of Trump's wealth — $2.4 billion — comes from cryptocurrency assets, including hyped-up meme tokens, the «World Liberty Financial» project, and the stablecoin business. Furthermore, although it generated just $3.6 million in revenue and suffered a net loss of $401 million in 2024, his stake in the «Truth Social» social network added another $2 billion to the president's portfolio. Family income streams have also surged through Melania Trump's book, film, and NFT projects. However, independent ethics experts are calling it an unprecedented legal conflict of interest in US history that the Trump administration is simultaneously supporting and regulating the cryptocurrency market at the state level while earning billions of dollars in personal income from this industry.

A «loophole» in US legislation: Why can no one stop this?
The most controversial and debated issue in the Washington political system:
Exception for the president: Strict US conflict of interest laws prohibit ministers and congressmen from managing their personal businesses, but this restriction does not constitutionally apply directly to the President and Vice President;
Intersection of legislation and personal profit: While the Trump administration adopts decisions stimulating the crypto market and lowering taxes, these reforms multiply the value of the president family's own tokens and companies;
Salvation from court fines: The politician, who faced the threat of having his accounts frozen due to $500 million in court payments before the election, reached the highest peak in his financial history — $7.3 billion — in just a single year.
