At the end of September, Donald Trump pushed through World’s 500 Richest List from Bloomberg. This week he’s out again. How are Trump’s assets doing? A comparison with the 500 richest on earth, including our own top 3 Quote 500 should.

Some put their names on golden skyscrapers, others on golden yellow fun cylinders. In terms of assets, Donald Trump cannot match Charlene de Carvalho-Heineken, the staggering leader of the Dutch Quote 500. Manners puts Donald Trump’s assets in an international perspective.

Donald Trump’s net worth

With $500 million in start-up capital from father Fred in his back pocket, Donald Trump entered the business world in the 1970s. He preferred to go big and vulgar. Hotels, casinos and golf courses with his own name on them and decked out in as much gold as possible. But there were also Trump ties, Trump steaks and Trump urine tests (which you could send in to receive personalized vitamin advice).

In 2024, Donald Trump’s fortune will fluctuate between $6 and $7 billion, leaving him hanging by the elastic World’s 500 Richest List from Bloomberg. Sometimes he makes the weekly list, other times he just misses it.

This is because the shares of Trump Media are currently used as a surrogatebets for people who think he will be the next president. A share has risen in recent months Trump Media (including also Truth Social falls) 300 percent in value. As a result, Trump’s fortune also skyrocketed. Will he indeed become president? Then Trump’s stock goes sky high and investors (or gamblers) make a monster profit, or so they expect. Heard at the end of September The Donald for the first time in a long time among the 500 richest. He was at 481.

This week the price dropped Trump Media back in. Apparently some investors thought the share was very highly valued. In the 500 Richest This week Trump is no longer to be found. During this week we will know whether he will either start a free fall or come back twice as fast. Everything depends on the election results.

De World’s 500 Richest List van Bloomberg

The top 10 of the World’s 500 Richest List on November 4, 2024 consists often of the owners of the most valuable companies in the United States.

On October 22, Trump’s fortune was estimated at $6.5 billion, putting him at number 481. Now, two weeks later, he is just outside. This is in favor of Quote 500 entrepreneur Remon Vos, who just made it to Bloomberg’s ranking (place 499). In our national rich people list, the Quote 500, this is good for third place.

The Quote 500 of 2024

Last week the annual edition of the Quote 500 was also published, in which the most wealthy Dutch people are listed. This was the top 10 in 2024, with the difference in power compared to last year.

Donald Trump has German roots (his grandfather’s name is Friedrich Trump) and not Dutch, so he has little to do with the Quote 500. Would that have been the case? He would then compete with luxury billionaire Ralph Sonnenberg and real estate magnate Remon Bos for second place.

Unlike The Donald they are in the most recent one World’s 500 Richest List from Bloomberg. Ralph Sonnenberg at 228 and Remon Vos at 499. However, the gold of the Trump towers looks particularly pale next to a freshly tapped Heineken beer. With a fortune of $12.1 billion, beer queen Charlene de Carvalho-Heineken has roughly twice as much money as Trump. This gives her first place in the Quote 500 and 150th in Bloomberg World’s 500 Richest List.
