Donald Trump’s Net Worth More Than Doubles In Hours

The former president’s personal fortune skyrockets—for now—as Truth Social’s parent company begins trading.

 

Donald Trump is more than $5 billion richer today after shares of Trump Media & Technology Group, which operates the Truth Social platform, began trading on the Nasdaq. Forbes now estimates that Trump—who was worth an estimated $2.3 billion before shareholders voted last week to approve the long-delayed plan to take TMTG public—now has a net worth of $7.3 billion, as of 11:30 a.m. Eastern. That makes the former president one of the 400 richest people in the world, according to Forbes’ real-time tracker.
