    Forbes estimates it a bit lower, they say his liquid net worth and crypto is a little over $2B, but they admit they are devaluing the crypto because he can’t sell it all at once:

    The unlocked market cap of $TRUMP alone is over $3B, and people suspect he owns much of that personally. There are also a ton of shitty tokens owned by World Libery Financial, which he also owns a good chunk of.

    All this crypto literally didn’t exist during Trump’s first term.

      That might all be true (gotta love “valuation” [aka “guess”] touted as “fact”), but it still doesn’t begin to touch on whether he’s a cash-puppet for anyone who holds his CSM, etc. kompromat and therefore doesn’t personally own shit.

        In the case of the crypto, though, it’s more than just a guess. These things are being actively traded on markets right now, and have a value attached to them. I could buy a bunch of $TRUMP right now if I wanted to.

        None of that implies that he’s not also subject to influence from foreign powers with embarrassing info on him.
