Trump explains $3B net worth jump in ‘60 Minutes’ interview: ‘You should’ve had stock’

Donald Trump attributed a reported rise of more than $3 billion in his net worth since returning to office to investments and business activities overseen by his sons. The increase matters because Trump’s family business has continued operating during his presidency, including through cryptocurrency ventures and overseas property deals, prompting questions about potential conflicts of interest.

Forbes estimates Trump’s fortune at about $6 billion, up from $2.3 billion in 2024. His 2025 financial disclosures reported more than $1 billion in cryptocurrency income, including $635 million from the $Trump meme coin and over $236 million from World Liberty Financial, as well as tens of millions in foreign licensing and property-related revenue. Trump said he does not take a presidential salary and argued that other presidents have also had associates pursue business after leaving office; Democrats have pledged scrutiny of his family’s overseas interests.
