How much is Donald Trump’s fortune?
The president of the United States momentarily entered the list of the 500 richest people in the world of Bloomberg, in October last year.
At that time, its wealth exceeded 6.5 billion dollars thanks to the rebound in the market capitalization of its media company, Trump Media, to the extent that the Republican approached the victory of the presidential elections.
Trump Media actions continued to grow during October, but the company registered losses in the last quarter of 2024 for 19.2 million dollars.
Donald Trump has around 58.9% of the company’s shares, whose market capitalization is estimated at 6,535 million dollars. So, these assets would give Trump an approximate fortune of 3,849 million dollars.
But they are not his only sources of wealth. It also has real estate assets, with the Trump tower and The Trump Building in New York. These properties would add a value exceeding 800 million dollars.
In addition, it has other residential properties, such as Mar-A-Lago, a private club that generates income to Trump and also serves as a rest residence house. It also has the Trump International Hotel and Tower Chicago and other similar properties in the United States.
To this we must add the golf courses and other investments that are under the possession and operation of the Trump organization and that cover operations in Florida, New Jersey, Scotland and Ireland.
Carlos Slim is much richer than Trump
The Mexican businessman is the richest in the country and has an estimated fortune of 85.1 billion dollars, according to the most up -to -date data of the Bloomberg millionaire index, where he occupies position 18.
Slim controls América Mobe, the largest mobile phone operator in Latin America and registered revenues greater than 40,000 million dollars a year. In addition, Slim investments extend to various sectors of the economy, from commercial banking, to energy companies, through their investment vehicle Carso.
In this way, Carlos Slim is much richer than Donald Trump. Only at the beginning of the year, his fortune was estimated at 79.4 billion dollars. But this grew to 85,100 million pesos in mid -February.
That is, its wealth grew by 5.7 billion dollars in less than two months, a value very close to that of Trump Media.
If we take into account the last best moment of Trump’s fortune (6,500 million pesos), and compare it with the current fortune of Carlos Slim, the difference is immense. Because the Mexican has 13 times more wealth than the current president of the United States.
