Miami, U.S. – President Donald Trump said he believes his wealth has risen after a Forbes report claimed his net worth increased by $3 billion during his first year back in the White House. During his first televised interview after the election, Ross Douthat of 60 Minutes asked Trump about the magazine’s figure, which shows the president’s net worth rising from $4.3 billion in 2024 to $7.3 billion. Trump replied that he does not pay much attention to his net worth, saying, “I don’t give it much time. I earn a lot of money, more than I ever imagined. I suppose it has gone up. I don’t even know.” He added that one of his children, whom he described as “honored and a good guy,” “keeps an eye on the money.” Trump said he does not discuss the matter with the child, who he said “monitors.” He also noted that he has had a large amount of cash for a long time, “since before I came to the presidency.” The Forbes report cited the president’s involvement in cryptocurrency as a major source of his wealth. It noted that Trump and his three children launched World Liberty Financial in September 2024, a company that operates in the crypto sector. Trump’s comments come after the mid‑term elections, in which Democrats regained majorities in both houses of Congress. The new majority has pledged to investigate the enrichment of officials in the administration and their ties to multimillionaires. Article source: El Nuevo Diario | Image credit: El Nuevo Diario
