This November, President Trump will be vying to win a second term in office, and it has now emerged that he has reportedly earned $2.2 million from his 2020 campaign so far.

Trump has been able to make money during what is typically a costly time for candidates by funding his campaign using his donors' money instead of his own, Forbes has revealed.

Two joint fundraising committees - named Trump Victory and the Trump Make America Great Again Committee - are working in conjunction with the Republican party to have Trump reelected.

They have pushed $2.3 million into Trump's private businesses since he took office in 2016, and the Republican National Committee has spent an additional $2.4 million at Trump properties.

Forbes reports that alongside the Republican party, it's now been estimated that $6.9 million has been spent on the president's private businesses since he entered the White House.

This comes as the Facebook Ad Library has revealed that the Trump campaign's spend on adverts on the social media website topped $2.2 million between June 21 and June 27.

Comparatively, Trump's rival Joe Biden has spent just over $1.5 million between these dates on Facebook.

The campaign watchdog Opensecrets.org reported that the total costs of the 2016 presidential and congressional elections was $6.5 billion.

This is a reflection of the fact that the cost of running for president has increased dramatically in the age of social media, with televised debates, social media's impact, and the networked nature of the modern world requiring candidates to fork out more money.

As a result, some countries like the UK are imposing limits on how much candidates can spend prior to an election with The Washington Post reporting that parties can only spend a maximum of $29.5 million in the year leading up to an election.

Donald Trump has signed a new executive order that will establish a new Bitcoin reserve worth a staggering $18,000,000,000.

The move is intended to put the USA at the forefront of cryptocurrency, per Investors.com.

This initiative precedes the first-ever White House Crypto Summit, set for March 7, 2025, bringing together industry leaders to discuss the future of digital assets.

The executive order, titled "Establishment of the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and United States Digital Asset Stockpile," emphasizes the strategic advantage of holding Bitcoin, often referred to as "digital gold".

The order notes that the U.S. government already possesses a significant amount of Bitcoin, primarily acquired through asset forfeiture proceedings, and underscores the importance of managing these assets to bolster the nation's financial standing, per Politico.

"The United States Government currently holds a significant amount of BTC, but has not implemented a policy to maximize BTC’s strategic position as a unique store of value in the global financial system," the order says.

"Just as it is in our country’s interest to thoughtfully manage national ownership and control of any other resource, our Nation must harness, not limit, the power of digital assets for our prosperity."

While the exact amount of Bitcoin held by the government isn't officially disclosed, estimates suggest approximately 200,000 coins, valued at around $18 billion based on current market rates.

This substantial reserve is intended to be maintained as a store of value, with no immediate plans for liquidation.

Beyond Bitcoin, the executive order establishes a United States Digital Asset Stockpile, managed by the Treasury Department, to securely oversee other cryptocurrencies obtained through legal forfeitures.

This move reflects a broader strategy to integrate digital assets into the national financial framework, as reported by Forbes.

The upcoming White House Crypto Summit will convene key figures from the cryptocurrency industry to discuss regulatory policies, innovation, and the future role of digital assets in the U.S. financial system.

This event signifies a notable shift toward proactive engagement with the rapidly evolving crypto landscape.

President Trump's initiatives mark a significant departure from previous administrations' approaches to cryptocurrency, signaling a commitment to embracing digital financial technologies and solidifying the United States' position in the global crypto market.

Barron Trump’s net worth has reached astonishing levels, reportedly surpassing that of his mother, First Lady Melania Trump, despite being only 19 years old.

The youngest son of Donald and Melania Trump is currently studying at NYU’s Stern School of Business, one of the most competitive business programs in the United States.

Barron recently relocated from Manhattan to attend classes at NYU’s Washington, D.C. campus, allowing him to stay closer to his family in the White House.

While he continues his education, he already has a financial cushion that would make many full-time investors jealous.

Barron’s Role in the Trump Family’s Crypto Venture

According to President Trump, Barron played a notable role in helping him appeal to younger voters during the presidential campaign.

The teen is also credited with sparking his father’s interest in cryptocurrency.

In 2024, Barron co-founded the crypto company World Liberty Financial alongside his father and older brothers.

After Trump’s election victory, the company surged in value, adding more than $1.5 billion to the Trump family’s financial portfolio.

Barron owns a 10 percent stake, giving him an estimated net worth of $150 million, according to Forbes.

The Impact of Investor Support

Following Trump’s win, crypto figure Justin Sun announced a major $75 million investment in the venture, fueling further growth.

By August, World Liberty Financial had reportedly sold $675 million worth of tokens, while also expanding into various industries, including a partnership with healthcare firm Alt5 Sigma.

These developments placed Barron’s net worth at roughly three times that of Melania Trump, who sits at an estimated $50 million earned primarily through modeling, per HELLO!.

How Barron’s Net Worth Breaks Down

Forbes reports that Barron’s financial standing includes:

1. $38 million from the World Liberty tokens deal
2. $34 million from the stablecoin USD1
3. $41 million from the Alt5 Sigma agreement
4. $45 million in tokens

Combined, these assets put Barron in rare company for someone his age.

Reports of a Challenging Adjustment Period

Despite his financial success, earlier reports suggested Barron had struggled socially, finding it difficult to make new friends and sometimes coming across as awkward.

Even so, President Trump says his son is currently thriving at NYU.

During a recent golf outing, Kai Trump – daughter of Donald Trump Jr. – asked the president how Barron was adjusting to college.

“Good, he’s doing good,” Trump replied.

“He’s a good boy. He loves you.”

Trump added that Barron had even asked him to pass along a hello, joking that Barron finds Kai “so cute.”

Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner raked in at least $24 million last year after making a "substantial financial sacrifice" to work at the White House.

Under the Trump administration, Ms. Trump, the former president's daughter, and her husband Jared Kushner both worked as senior advisers to Trump.

Ms. Trump also worked as the Director of the Office of Economic Initiatives and Entrepreneurship.

Based on the pair's final financial disclosure reports, obtained by Government watchdog Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, between January 1, 2020, and January 20, 2021, Ms. Trump and Kushner earned between $23,791,645 and $120,676,949 in combined outside income.

This comes some years after Jared Kushner's father, Charles Kushner an op-ed for The Washington Post in which he said his son had made "a substantial financial sacrifice" to work at the White House.

While a $24 million+ paycheck doesn't sound like much of a sacrifice, it turns out that they actually made less this time round – compared to their last financial disclosure reports in which they earned between $36,151,214 and $157,020,085.

In her last year at the White House, Ms. Trump did not receive any earnings from the businesses she ran before entering the administration, according to her final financial disclosure report.

In contrast, all of her previous disclosures included earnings from these businesses even though they had stopped operating in the summer of 2018.

Ms. Trump received $1,463,449 from her stake at the Trump International Hotel in Washington, DC according to the current financial disclosure.

However, this marked a dramatic decrease of nearly $4 million based on her previous disclosure.

When her time in the Trump administration has come to an end, the value of her stake in the hotel plummeted from between $5 and $25 million to $100,001 to $250,000, as per her previous disclosures.

The phenomenal drop in income was not accounted for in her financial disclosure report, however, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics states that the former president's daughter may not have sold a substantial share of her stake in the hotel as there is no "corresponding transaction" to suggest that she had.

Following their time in the White House, Ms. Trump and her husband have moved to Miami, Florida.

Donald Trump has officially unveiled the app for his new savings initiative, “Trump Accounts,” with the platform now available on all major app stores.

The launch comes shortly after the US national debt surpassed $39 trillion, increasing by more than $1 trillion since October 2025. While the country’s finances continue to face pressure, Trump’s latest project is aimed at helping younger Americans build savings from an early age.

How do the 'Trump Accounts' work?

Trump Accounts function similarly to IRA-style savings accounts for children. Like IRAs, the funds are tax-deferred, though the money cannot be accessed until the account holder turns 18.

Any US citizen under the age of 18 with a valid Social Security number is eligible, provided they are still under 18 by the end of the calendar year the account is opened. The accounts are intended to be managed by parents or guardians, who can monitor and invest the funds on behalf of their children.

Speaking about the launch, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said: “The Trump Administration is taking another step forward in expanding opportunity for American families.”

He added: “The Trump Accounts app delivers a simple, secure way for households to begin engaging with a program designed to build long-term financial strength from day one. By putting easy access to Trump Accounts directly in the hands of parents and young Americans, we are helping to ensure that America’s youth are included in this new era of economic participation.”

According to Bessent, via CNN, nearly six million children already have accounts set up through the system. The program also includes a government contribution for eligible children born within a specific period.

Who can receive the money?

For every child born between January 1, 2025, and December 31, 2028, the federal government will deposit $1,000 into their account.

Additional contributions can also be made by parents, employers, relatives, or friends, with annual deposits capped at $5,000 per child.

The first government payments are expected to begin on July 4, which marks America’s 250th birthday, and that date will also officially open the accounts for investing.

Until then, a Treasury spokesperson told CNN the app already “features eight exclusive financial literacy modules that families can access now.”

Parents and guardians who want to create an account can register through the official Trump Accounts website, while the app is also available to download through both the Apple App Store and Google Play.
