- Donald Trump’s net worth went up to $5.1 billion in March 2025, almost twice what it was a year before.
- The biggest asset he has is his $2.6 billion investment in Trump Media, despite its financial losses.
- Trump also holds $1.1 billion in real estate and another $770 million in liquid assets.
After being through many financial challenges, Donald Trump’s wealth has recovered significantly. Data from Forbes estimated that Trump now has a net worth of $5.1 billion, considerably higher than the previous year. This resurgence stems from a combination of cash inflows, stock movements, and real estate assets, despite mounting legal liabilities and underperforming business ventures. Trump’s value spike came largely from monetizing his social media company and leveraging high-liquidity assets, while some of his longstanding holdings still face steep losses.
His financial landscape, however, remains deeply complex, with massive disparities between asset values, debt exposure, and unrealized earnings. While some investments flourished, others continued to bleed money, adding volatility to his balance sheet.
Social Media Stake Overtakes Real Estate Holdings
Trump’s most valuable asset is now his interest in the Truth Social parent company, Trump Media and Technology Group. As of March 2025, the stake is valued at $2.6 billion. This comes despite the platform generating only $3.6 million in revenue last year and posting a $401 million loss. Share prices have plunged over 50% but still leave Trump with a multibillion-dollar valuation. These market movements shifted the financial center of gravity from his traditional real estate empire to digital holdings. Prior to this, Trump’s real estate made up the bulk of his wealth. Now, his media venture outweighs all his real estate combined.
Notably, this liquidity enabled Trump to secure hundreds of millions through cryptocurrency sales. This infusion bolstered his cash reserves, pushing his liquid assets to an estimated $770 million. These funds also followed previous asset restructurings, including the sale of his Washington, D.C. hotel and refinancing of a San Francisco office tower.
Real Estate Portfolio Still Holds Deep Contrasts
Despite the surge in wealth, Trump’s real estate empire shows mixed results. His holdings include stakes in high-profile buildings like 1290 Avenue of the Americas, where his 30% share nets him $252 million after $950 million in debt.
At 555 California Street in San Francisco, a similar 30% stake results in just $120 million in value after refinancing doubled the property’s debt. Trump Tower itself holds $100 million in net value, though past disclosures exaggerated its size by over 10,000 square feet.
Other assets, such as 6 East 57th Street and Trump Park Avenue, remain debt-free and valued at $148 million and $93 million, respectively. His resort holdings in Florida, including Mar-a-Lago and Trump National Doral Miami, combine for over $600 million in net value. However, 40 Wall Street posted a negative net value of -$33 million due to rising debt exceeding the property’s estimated worth.
Golf Properties, Cash Reserves, and Legal Setbacks
Trump’s golf properties and resorts hold a combined value of $1.1 billion. Mar-a-Lago alone carries a net value of $368 million, while his U.S. golf courses contribute $338 million. Trump National Doral added another $248 million to the portfolio, despite earlier performance challenges. International golf resorts in Scotland and Ireland total $100 million, debt-free.
In contrast, Trump faces legal liabilities totaling $590 million, primarily from court rulings in New York. Interest on these obligations continues to grow. Meanwhile, his licensing business rebounded to $104 million in value following his 2024 election win. Additional holdings include aircraft worth $12 million and pension assets of $2 million. Loans to his children remain valued at $5 million, as previously disclosed in tax filings. Moreover, Trump’s wealth now leans more on digital assets than his traditional property empire.
