From $760 million to $2.4 billion: the surge in Donald Trump's income since his inauguration

Donald Trump earned $2.4 billion in 2025, triple the $760 million in 2024, according to a Forbes analysis. The increase is largely due to a memecoin bearing his name and a conciliatory stance by the administration toward cryptocurrencies. The White House, through deputy press secretary Anna Kelly, justified the wealth as entrepreneurial success and stated that all presidential assets are managed by independent financial institutions. Trump had claimed in 2019 that the presidency cost him a fortune, but his 2025 income is 6,000 times his $400,000 presidential salary.
