How President\u2019s Personal Income Surged Last Year<\/p>\n

President Trump\u2019s personal income surged to more than $2.2 billion in the first year of his second term.<\/span><\/p>\n

Unlike other presidents who generally have divested themselves of holdings or established blind trusts, Trump put many of his assets into a revocable trust overseen by Donald Trump Jr., who also co-heads the real-estate and hospitalityfocused Trump Organization with another of the president\u2019s sons, Eric Trump.<\/span><\/p>\n

Though Trump is best known for his real-estate empire, income from those businesses was dwarfed by his crypto-related ventures, which brought him more than $1 billion last year, according to a Wall Street Journal analysis of his 900-page federal disclosure form.<\/span><\/p>\n

On Wednesday, Trump told reporters he didn\u2019t talk to the people who managed his money and he was doing well because the stock market was hitting records.<\/span><\/p>\n

See how Trump\u2019s income and assets changed:<\/span>Crypto<\/p>\n

Among the largest windfalls recorded in the filings is $263 million in earnings connected to the sale of equity in World Liberty Financial, the president\u2019s cryptocurrency business.<\/span><\/p>\n

It marks the first formal disclosure of a secret $500 million deal that Eric Trump signed<\/span> with a group of investors led by Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed al Nahyan, a United Arab Emirates royal.<\/span><\/p>\n

The deal, which granted the U.A.E. investors 49% in the president\u2019s cryptocurrency business, was first reported in January by the Journal. Shortly after it was signed, the Trump administration signed a framework deal allowing the U.A.E. access to tightly guarded U.S. artificial-intelligence chips.<\/span><\/p>\n

Overall, Trump brought in a total of $798 million from World Liberty Financial and a related stablecoin business. Trump\u2019s licensing agreement with Celebration Coins, the company behind his memecoin business, brought in $635 million in royalties.<\/span><\/p>\n

The two largest cryptocurrencies promoted by the president\u2014$ WLFI and $TRUMP\u2014 have collapsed in value since they were created, leaving many individual investors with steep losses.<\/span><\/p>\n

Trading<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s investment accounts ballooned, too\u2014to at least $858 million from at least $237 million. In addition to his trust, investment and cash accounts, Trump disclosed four new investment accounts.<\/span><\/p>\n

Trump disclosed more than 20,000 trades across last year, or on average, more than 50 trades a day. His accounts went big on tech stocks, with more than $70 million in holdings across the Magnificent 7 tech stocks, including more than $10 million apiece in<\/span> Apple, Nvidia and<\/span> Alphabet.<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s advisers also expanded his stockholdings to include nearly every company in the S&P 500 index. Some analysts say the moves resemble common trading strategies designed to mitigate capital-gains taxes.<\/span><\/p>\n

The report released Tuesday showed the president\u2019s stake in Truth Social parent<\/span> Trump Media was still valued at more than $50 million. A tumbling stock price, however, shrank the value of those holdings by $2.4 billion last year, according to Dow Jones Market Data.<\/span><\/p>\n

Real estate<\/p>\n

The president\u2019s hospitality business also brought in more money. He reported more than $525 million in hotel and golfrelated income, and $49 million from other real-estate income.<\/span><\/p>\n

At his Florida resort Mar-a-Lago, which has boosted initiation fees and become a hub for donors and favor-seekers, Trump\u2019s income jumped to $77 million in 2025 from $50 million in 2024. His earnings from an entity linked to Trump National Doral climbed to $122 million from $110 million during the same period.<\/span><\/p>\n

The president also paid off some large real-estate debts in 2025, including a mortgage of more than $50 million on the Trump Building at 40 Wall Street.<\/span><\/p>\n

A Trump Organization spokeswoman said the disclosures showed the organization\u2019s financial strength and \u201ca level of financial transparency unmatched in presidential history.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
