Trump’s Net Worth Hits $6.5 Billion, Making Him One of World’s 500 Richest People
- Former president joins Bloomberg’s list of 500 richest people
- Trump Media merger adds billions of dollars to paper fortune
Donald Trump’s business empire was supposed to be in peril like never before on Monday. Instead, it turned into the single-greatest day on record for the former president’s wealth.
Facing a deadline to post a bond of more than $500 million in a New York fraud lawsuit, a state appeals court tossed him a lifeline, slashing the amount he’d have to post to $175 million — an amount he says he’ll cover. Around the same time, his social media company Trump Media & Technology Group wrapped up a 29-month-long merger process, meaning shares worth billions of dollars on paper are now officially Trump’s.
