Net Worth

By Year

2015

• Forbes estimated that Trump's net worth was $4.5 billion, substantially less than the $10 billion net worth Trump claimed on the campaign trail. “Trump's valuation this year holds extra importance, of course, due to his audacious second act: his highly unlikely--but no longer inconceivable--path to the presidency. Trump has filed statements claiming he's worth at least $10 billion or, as he put in a press release, TEN BILLION DOLLARS (capitalization his). After interviewing more than 80 sources and devoting unprecedented resources to valuing a single fortune, we're going with a figure less than half that--$4.5 billion, albeit still the highest figure we've ever had for him.” (Forbes, October 19, 2015)

2016

• Forbes reported that Trump had a net worth of $4.5 billion, ranking him as the 324th wealthiest billionaire in the world. “The World's Billionaires: […] Donald Trump UP $4.5 bil #324 television, real estate […] His abrasive, long-shot campaign is looking less unrealistic after big wins in early primaries. So far he's had to spend only $18 million of his $4.5 billion fortune on his run (in all, his campaign has raised just $25 million). Others haven't seen such a strong return on investment: 27 billionaire megadonors, including Richard Kinder and Kelcy Warren, have given a collective $46 million to candidates who are already out of the race.” (Forbes, March 21, 2016)
