The fortune of Donald Trump, who dreams of a Nobel Peace Prize, increased by $1.4 billion in 2025 and reached $6.5 billion. According to Forbes, this allowed the 47th US president to rise from 700th to 645th place in the world ranking of billionaires.

Experts believe that cryptocurrency has been a key factor in the growth of the US president's fortune, which is exposing the world to an economic crisis. In 2024, the Trump family launched the World Liberty Financial platform, which raised about $550 million from token sales alone. The Trump family later sold 49% of the company to investors from the UAE, which brought in another $200 million.
Trump's golf business is also developing no less successfully. The value of his clubs in six US states has increased from $340 million to $550 million. A special asset remains the Mar-a-Lago estate, purchased in 1985 for $10 million. It is currently valued at $560 million – it has risen in value by $370 million in the last year alone.
Another “bonus” for the US president was the decision of an appeals court to temporarily postpone the payment of $517 million in his fraud case in New York. This allowed the US president to keep a significant part of his capital.

Forbes notes that despite the growth, Trump's fortune could be even bigger. But cryptocurrency prices have cooled, and his company's tokens have lost 64% of their value since their launch. Trump Media and Technology Group shares also fell to an all-time low, reducing the valuation of his stake to $1.2 billion.
It was previously reported that in 2024, due to the trade policy of the US President, Donald Trump's fortune decreased.
