Trump’s 2024 Finances Reveal Over $600M in Crypto, Real Estate, and Licensing Income
Donald Trump reported more than $600 million in income for 2024, according to a newly released financial disclosure form that sheds light on the broad spectrum of revenue streams fueling his wealth. From golf resorts and real estate to meme coins and digital collectibles, the filing paints a picture of a president whose business empire continues to thrive in both traditional and emerging sectors.
The document, signed on June 13, did not specify its exact time frame, but the inclusion of earnings from cryptocurrency ventures suggests it covers up to the end of December 2024. Trump reported assets valued at no less than $1.6 billion, based on a conservative Reuters analysis that used the minimum figures disclosed in asset ranges.
Crypto Push Adds Hundreds of Millions to Trump’s Wealth
One of the most striking revelations was Trump's growing footprint in digital finance. His meme coin, $TRUMP, released earlier in 2024, reportedly generated around $320 million in fees. Though how much of that went directly to Trump remains undisclosed, the amount underscores the explosive success of his crypto branding.
Additionally, his family’s involvement in World Liberty Financial, a decentralized finance firm, netted over $400 million. Within that, Trump himself reported $57.35 million in token sales and disclosed ownership of a staggering 15.75 billion governance tokens in the company.
The president is also linked to a Bitcoin mining operation and exchange-traded digital asset funds, further diversifying his crypto exposure.
Old Pillars Still Stand Strong: Real Estate, Golf, and Branding
While the crypto ventures have proven lucrative, Trump’s traditional businesses remain key pillars of his empire. Florida golf properties alone brought in at least $217.7 million. The Trump National Doral near Miami, known for its Blue Monster course, was the top earner at $110.4 million.
Mar-a-Lago and other Florida resorts continue to generate revenue, reflecting sustained demand for Trump-branded properties, even amid his return to the political stage.
Outside the U.S., licensing and development deals brought in millions more. Projects in Vietnam, India, and Dubai added at least $31 million to the family’s coffers through licensing and consulting fees.
Passive Investments, Media Ventures, and the NFT Market
Trump also drew at least $12 million from passive investments totaling over $211 million, with notable holdings in Blue Owl Capital and bond funds from Charles Schwab and Invesco.
Meanwhile, his stake in Trump Media & Technology Group—owner of the social media platform Truth Social—remains a major asset, even if the exact value was not disclosed. The company has become a flagship of his media strategy and digital presence.
The president’s foray into the NFT space, while less headline-grabbing than his meme coin success, added another $1.16 million to his earnings. Former First Lady Melania Trump reported $216,700 from her own NFT licensing agreements.
Transparency and Scrutiny
Although Trump has repeatedly claimed to have removed himself from the day-to-day management of his businesses, the income disclosed in the filing ultimately accrues to him. Critics have pointed to the potential for conflicts of interest, particularly when policies enacted under his administration could influence the very sectors he profits from—such as crypto and real estate.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt stated that Trump, Vice President J.D. Vance, and senior staff have fulfilled all ethical and financial disclosure requirements. “The Trump Administration is committed to transparency and accessibility for the American people,” she said.
A Snapshot of a Businessman President
While the figures in the report are already being overtaken by the rapid pace of new deals and digital ventures, they offer a rare snapshot of how Trump’s empire continues to evolve—from beachfront resorts to blockchain-based assets. Whether these holdings will become flashpoints in the 2024 election remains to be seen, but they confirm one thing: Donald Trump is as much a businessman-president as ever.
