His assets reach 7,300M

The guest of Oval Officesince coming to power, whether during his first term or in the present, has enriched himself enormously from his position to coupon of checkbook. A kind of Trump S. A.

A film about his wife’s life, Melania Trumpproduced by Amazon Prime; the pharaonic purchase of Electronic Arts, a company better known by its acronym EA, by his son-in-law, Jared Kushner; or the cryptocurrency $TRUMP are just some of the businesses that the president of USA.

The tycoon will disburse almost 30 million euros Jeff Bezos to produce the film of the American first lady. This financial movement caused a spiral of surveillance over Trumpdue to the possible approach of the owner of Amazon in January 2025 with Trump’s imminent return to the White House.

The president’s money is up in the air. And it’s not a figure of speech. A few weeks ago, USA formally accepted a luxury plane from Qatar. All of this is the result of his close ties with the country’s emir, and even more so when he recently signed an agreement in which he undertakes to defend the emirate.

He also took out chop of the courts. Meta paid $25 million to settle 2021 Trump lawsuit. The lawsuit accused the technology company of violating the US president’s right to freedom of expression by suspending his Facebook account after the riots four years ago at the Capitol.

But if one of the financial operations produced by Trump draws attention, that was the one that was born from the so-called “cryptocene”. In this meeting, the US president tried to cash in on his cryptocurrency $TRUMP.

On the other hand, there is The Trump Organization. It is the private family conglomerate dedicated primarily to the real estate, brand licensing, hospitality and golf sectors, with an international presence through licensing and management agreements.

As a result of this signature, it sells products such as an ornament, worth $95, with a three-dimensional representation of Mar-a-Lago (Trump’s Florida recreational estate) and a gold purse with the brand Trumpwith a cost of $550.

The family emporium

Their relatives have not sat idly by either and are keeping a watchful eye on commercial operations. They reject the idea of ​​limiting their business activities just because they lead the country. They indicated that there was no point in holding back. “They’re going to hit you no matter what. Just, let’s play the game“said his eldest son, Donald Trump Jr.

Starting from the bottom, the youngest son of the five that make up the family album, Barronbarely 19 years old, also shows his head in business, even becoming richer than his own mother, Melania.

The young man, along with two other partners, registered a company in Wyoming last year called Trump, Fulcher & Roxburgh. One of the investors described the business as a high-end real estate development entity. But it fell on deaf ears. The company was dissolved in November after a great media impact, as reflected The New York Times.

The business of digital assets, such as cryptocurrencies, jewelry or facial care, would boost Barron to a fortune greater than his mother.

For its part, Donald Trump Jr.days after his father’s victory, announced that he would become a partner at 1789 Capital, a venture capital firm that invests in certain companies. His investments include Last Country, Tucker Carlson’s media company.

Furthermore, on November 27, Don Jr.. became an advisor to Unusual Machinesa drone company, of which he received 200,000 shares, valued at one million euros. A month later, in December, he joined the board of directors of PublicSquarewhich presents itself as a competitor anti-woke from Amazon, according to the magazine Forbes.

Eric Trump It is not far behind either. In March of this year, he co-founded American Bitcoin, a cryptocurrency company that is now merging with Gryphona publicly traded company.

Again Melaniathe wife of the leader of the White House, became rich from being the first lady. As a result of giving several speaking engagements, including two speeches for Log Cabin Republicans, a conservative group promoting LGBTQ+ rights in the United States, Melania received six-figure fees.

Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kusher, He has also caught the media eye thanks to his ambitious businesses. The young man led the purchase of EA for $55 billion. Together with the Silver Lake funds, Affinity Partners and PIF, the sovereign fund of Saudi Arabia, and Kusher, the operation was closed last week for nearly 47 billion euros.

“Wealth, power and adulation”

He already said it Ty Cobba former lawyer who was Trump’s most trusted during his first government: “Everything he does is to get revenge or to accumulate wealth, power and adulation“The pace and volume of the family’s money-making efforts so far are unprecedented,” he says. The Wall Street Journal.

Professor of Economics and Business at the European University of Madrid Jose Manuel Corrales considers, in a conversation with EL ESPAÑOL, that “legally not all enrichment is a crime”, and on a moral level “the evaluation is categorical.”

“The mix between exercise public power and corporate profit personal or family behavior erodes the minimum standards of public conduct,” reflects the teacher.

Furthermore, he makes a severe distinction between his first government and the current one: “In the first term there were controversies and litigation over the provision of services and family businesses; in this period, the business activity appears to intensify and diversify (new tokenized vehicles, media products, international agreements), with greater use of modern financial platforms.”

In a very similar vein it continues José Antonio Gurpeguidirector of the Franklin Institute. “Trump is a businessman. He runs his presidency as if it were a business. However, the rest of the presidents have focused more on politics, on governing,” he details to this newspaper.

And he rules out that it is a greater evil for Americans: “I very much doubt that his corporate enrichment worries citizens.”. They have bigger problems“In addition, he does not believe that there will be a contagion effect on future presidents. “It is an exception. No one increases their assets the way he is doing,” adds the researcher.

Imposing heritage

The colossal assets of the regent of the Oval Office amount to 7.3 billion dollarsaccording to publication Forbes in a recent article. During the last year, Trump increased his fortune by 3 billion.

Las Cryptocurrencies, media and technologygolf clubs and resorts make up the majority of Trump’s financial cushion. Only time will tell whether the 45th and 47th president of the United States will be remembered, among many other eccentricities, for filling his portfolio thanks to the baton of command.
