Eye-watering amount of money Trump family have made since second presidency
The Trump family has increased its fortune exponentially since patriarch Donald Trump regained control of America earlier this year.
Since Trump returned to the White House on January 20, the Republican has signed more than 200 Executive Orders (E.O.).
On his first day (January 20), he put his signature on 25 decrees and revoked various legislation signed by his predecessor, former President Joe Biden.
And the E.O. signings haven’t slowed down, with the father-of-five renaming the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America, banning flag-burning, and in August, he ordered all homeless people to leave Washington D.C.

Earlier this week, the politician held a joint news conference with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., claiming his administration had ‘uncovered’ the so-called cause of autism after teasing the announcement at conservative activist Charlie Kirk’s funeral in Arizona.
Among other instances, Trump introduced a barrage of Tariffs, has been trying to broker peace between Russia and Ukraine, and recently visited the UK on a second state visit with his wife, Melania Trump, 55.
But it isn’t just Trump who has been busy since he returned to office.
According to Forbes, the entire family - including his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, and second son, Eric Trump - has been occupied with increasing the family’s fortune.
The outlet has reported that since regaining his seat as president, the whole Trump clan is now worth an estimated $10 billion.
Its net worth has reportedly nearly doubled since last year’s election.
Forbes stated that the 47th POTUS’ estate has jumped $3 billion in one year, while Melania’s has increased by $20 million.
It’s important to note that Trump doesn’t make any money from serving as President of the United States.
Like some of his predecessors, he elects to donate the $400,000 salary to various charitable causes.
Other notable team Trump members who have made the Forbes list include Ivanka Trump, 43, who is worth $100 million, and her 44-year-old husband, Kushner, who has a net worth of $1 billion.
Eric, 41, comes in above his sister and below Kushner, with Forbes listing his net worth as $750 million.
Donald Trump Jr., more commonly referred to as Don Jr., has added an estimated $50 million to his fortune, bringing the total amount to $500 million.
Barron Trump is said to have made money in cryptocurrency. The New York student has a net worth of $150 million, according to Forbes.
Despite having a reported gigantic net worth, Trump recently shocked supporters by asking them to donate to his ‘get to heaven’ fund.
It’s understood that the American president sent emails to MAGA fans, asking them to spare him $15.
"I want to try and get to Heaven. Last year, I came millimetres from death when that bullet pierced through my skin,” he wrote in an email, referring to the assassination attempt on his life during his Presidential campaign.
“My triumphant return to the White House was never supposed to happen. But I believe God saved me for one reason. TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
He also alleged the 24-hour Trump ‘fundraising blitz’ was one ‘for the record books’.
Tyla previously contacted the White House for further comment.
