\n Trump\u2019s personal wealth has ballooned in office unlike any other president, the annual disclosure released Tuesday by the Office of Government Ethics showed. He significantly grew the income he received from his Florida properties, taking in nearly $77.5 million from Mar-a-Lago \u2013 more than 50% over what it earned him the previous year, and triple what he earned from the resort in 2020.\n <\/p>\n
\n The disclosure also shows that the resorts are being eclipsed in the president\u2019s portfolio by more than $1.4 billion in income from his lucrative new cryptocurrency ventures<\/a>, including the $TRUMP memecoin and World Liberty Financial, a company co-founded by Trump\u2019s sons.\n <\/p>\n \n In total, Trump reported almost three times as much in crypto income last year as he made from his empire of golf clubs, hotels and resorts.\n <\/p>\n \n Trump also reported nearly $60 million in income from licensing deals with foreign real estate firms to use the Trump name for hotels, golf courses, towers and other real estate developments in places such as Vietnam and India.\n <\/p>\n \n In comments to reporters on Wednesday, Trump attributed his windfall last year in part to a rising stock market that he suggested was good for many others as well.\n <\/p>\n \n \u201cYou know why I\u2019m profiting? Because the stock market\u2019s going up. Everybody\u2019s profiting,\u201d Trump said. He added that \u201cI never speak to any of the people that run the money.\u201d\n <\/p>\n \n While they\u2019re not as crucial to his overall income as they once were, Mar-a-Lago and Trump National Doral both saw jumps in income compared to previous years.\n <\/p>\n \n During Trump\u2019s first term, he reported taking in a consistent income of about $20 million to $25 million per year from Mar-a-Lago revenue. That jumped to about $50 million in 2024, and then $77.5 million in 2025.\n <\/p>\n \n At Doral, Trump took in around $75 million a year between 2017 and 2019, with that number falling to $44 million in 2020 amid the coronavirus pandemic. The club rebounded, with Trump reporting that he made $110 million in income from Doral in 2024 and about $122 million in 2025.\n <\/p>\n \n Part of the growth in revenue from Mar-a-Lago came from hikes in the fees to join the club. The cost was a mere $100,000 before Trump\u2019s first election<\/a> in 2016 \u2013 but after several increases over the years, it was hiked to $1 million in 2024, according to a person familiar with the matter.\n <\/p>\n \n Costs to visit other Trump properties have also increased, including at the Trump golf clubs in New Jersey and West Palm Beach that he frequently visits. Fees can stretch into the six-figures.\n <\/p>\n \n At Mar-a-Lago \u2013 which Trump has declared<\/a> his own primary residence \u2013 the membership profile has changed in recent years, according to people familiar with the make-up of the club. There are more members who are seeking business ties to Trump or his administration, they said.\n <\/p>\n \n Since his return to the presidency, many of Trump\u2019s properties have also become destinations for Republican fundraising events \u2014 often with the allure of a potential appearance by the commander-in-chief.\n <\/p>\n \n Dozens of federal political candidates and committees have reported making payments to Mar-a-Lago or Doral to host events there since Trump returned to office, according to Federal Election Commission data.\n <\/p>\n \n In 2025, Mar-a-Lago hosted multiple $1 million-per-person \u201ccandlelight dinners\u201d for MAGA Inc., a super PAC supporting the president, drawing in major figures including Elon Musk. The club has also been the venue for multiple Republican National Committee fundraisers in the lead-up to this year\u2019s midterm elections, including a gala in May 2025. In total, the RNC spent more than $1 million at Mar-a-Lago and Doral in 2025 and 2026.\n <\/p>\n \n Some companies with business before the federal government have hosted events there. XTI Aerospace, a company that is developing technology for vertical flight and won a few small federal contracts during the Biden administration, hosted a dinner at Mar-a-Lago in November 2025. The Financial Times reported<\/a> that Pfizer\u2019s top executive leadership team held an off-site meeting at the club in January 2025, just before Trump was sworn in for the second time. XTI and Pfizer did not respond to requests for comment Wednesday afternoon.\n <\/p>\n \n Trump has also used his clubs to promote his more lucrative new crypto ventures. The president hosted a gala<\/a> at Mar-a-Lago for the top buyers of his $TRUMP memecoin in April 2026, where he gave a keynote address and attended a \u201cchampagne toast.\u201d\n <\/p>\n \n Other groups that have held events at the club since his return to the White House include Catholics for Catholics, which has supported Republican politics.\n <\/p>\n \n Trump has hosted international leaders and other prominent politicians for dinners at Mar-a-Lago, including meetings with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu<\/a> and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky<\/a> in December. Trump\u2019s cabinet members, including Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, have also accompanied him to the resort, according to his public schedule.\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As President Donald Trump\u2019s wealth has soared since retaking office, a new financial disclosure shows his two premier…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":738093,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[28],"class_list":["post-738092","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-business","tag-business"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/738092","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=738092"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/738092\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/738093"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=738092"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=738092"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=738092"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Trump](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/02-gettyimages-2207737943.jpg\")
