During Donald Trump’s second term, he and his family amassed nearly $4 billion through ventures directly tied to his presidential status. This included lucrative real estate deals in the Persian Gulf, cryptocurrency promotions, merchandise sales, and media ventures like Truth Social. Unlike past presidents who monetized after leaving office, the Trump family profited enormously while in power, leveraging influence for international investments and legal workarounds. Jared Kushner secured a $2 billion Saudi investment, Don Jr. joined a venture capital firm, and Trump himself benefited from a rebranded, Bitcoin-focused media company. Many of these opportunities likely wouldn’t have existed without the presidency, blurring ethical lines and surpassing historical conflicts of interest. The scale of profit—far exceeding any prior administration—highlights how access to U.S. policy decisions may have been used to enrich private interests, drawing comparisons to autocratic models abroad.
