  • Trump's Net Worth Nearly Triples to $6.5 Billion Driven by Cryptocurrency Boom
    May 1, 2026, 7:59 PM EDT. President Donald Trump's net worth has surged to $6.5 billion since resuming office, fueled mainly by cryptocurrency gains, economic analyst Steve Rattner highlighted on MSNBC's Morning Joe. Trump's wealth nearly tripled from $2.3 billion, with crypto-related assets accounting for $3.02 billion of the surge between August 2025 and January 2026. Despite this, his personal meme coin, $TRUMP, which debuted days before inauguration, has collapsed 95% from its $45 peak, erasing billions for many retail investors. Rattner criticized the token as worthless, lacking trading utility or commercial use. Trump's financial ascent contrasts with his first term when his net worth declined amid more cautious business dealings.
