In 2023 alone, the tycoon generated double the income he had during his last year in office.
The Republican presidential candidate and former US president, Donald Trump, accumulated approximately $218 million in operating profits during 2023, which almost doubled his income during his last year in office.
Overall, Trump won 605 million dollars in the last three years after his presidential term, compared to the 445 million he earned in his first three years in the White House, according to a analysis financial conducted by Forbes.
According to the magazine, Trump’s income has had this historic increase thanks to private clubs and golf resorts. These properties went from being recreation centers to becoming sources of income that, in fact, help the tycoon boost other businesses.
Last year, its golf courses generated 74 million dollars more than in 2020, and if the profits of Mar-a-Lago, a private club without a course, are added to this, the total rises to 91 million, which represents a 84% increase in your profits.
In 2023, the billionaire also generated around $5 million selling books and giving speechesunlike his years in the White House, when he only earned a few hundred thousand dollars. In addition, another 5 million came from the NFT sale.
However, not all of his investments have been successful. Some of Trump’s business offices are completely at a standstill, while his new social media company lost 23 million dollars in 2022. Despite this, the profits from his other businesses have been so high that these losses practically do not affect the tycoon’s capital.
