The Trump family has become wealthier since Trump returned to the White House. What are his ways of making money? After Trump's return to the White House, his family is profiting from the "Trump" brand: In just the past month, Trump-related companies have at least gained $2 billion in funds. These investments cover real estate, cryptocurrencies, and a private club with an entry fee as high as $500,000 planning to open in Washington. The White House said that his company is managed by his sons, so there is no conflict of interest. [Tongue] ▶ Cryptocurrency $TRUMP is the cryptocurrency of the Trump family, held by Trump himself and operated by Donald Trump Jr. (Donald Trump Jr.). • It does not have intrinsic value itself and its worth is determined solely by buyers' bids; the family refers to it as a "collectible" similar to baseball cards. • Every time someone buys this coin (currently priced around $13), the family benefits. • Recently, the president introduced a reward mechanism: the first 220 buyers will be invited to dine next week at his golf club in Virginia; the top 25 will also receive a tour of the White House. • The winners collectively purchased at least $174 million worth of $TRUMP coins. • The UAE invested $2 billion in Trump's new cryptocurrency enterprise, World Liberty Financial, through an investment company. • Led by Donald Jr. and Eric Trump, the company can earn tens of millions of dollars annually. ▶ Real Estate • Qatar funded a Trump-branded seaside golf and luxury villa project worth $5.5 billion (the exact funding amount is unknown). The family will earn millions through brand licensing and management fees. • A Saudi Arabian real estate company (with close ties to the government) invested $1 billion in the Trump International Hotel and Tower project in Dubai and plans to build more Trump hotels, golf courses, and luxury homes in Saudi Arabia and Oman. All these projects are brand collaborations, and the family earns millions simply by branding. • During the Balkan War, NATO bombed the building of the Yugoslav Defense Ministry in Belgrade. Now, the Serbian president has leased the plot to Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law, who plans to build a Trump hotel on the site. The total project is worth $1 billion, with major funding coming from Middle Eastern sovereign wealth funds, and Kushner's private equity firm will lead the project financing. ▶ Other Deals • Private Jet: Qatar plans to gift a $400 million Boeing 747 jet to Trump for use as a temporary Air Force One. Trump said this jet is for the Department of Defense and will belong to his presidential library after he leaves office. • Members-only Club: Donald Trump Jr. and others plan to open a private club called "Executive Branch" in Georgetown. Members include lobbyists, tech tycoons, and some White House officials (such as Trump's "cryptocurrency director" David Sacks). The membership fee is as high as $500,000. • Golf Tournaments: The Saudi-backed golf league LIV Golf hosted a professional tournament last month at Trump's Doral National Golf Club in Florida. Trump arrived at the scene via military helicopter. The league, led by the Saudi sovereign fund, paid undisclosed venue fees to the Trump family and attracted thousands of spectators to stay at the resort, with all rooms and restaurants sold out. • Hotel Venue Rentals: During Trump's first term, dignitaries often stayed at his hotels, and the Republican Party frequently held events at his properties, generating tens of millions of dollars. These payment behaviors have resumed, such as the Republican National Committee recently holding events at the Doral Golf Resort and Mar-a-Lago.
