The family of US President Donald Trump received a record financial benefit from being in power, The New York Times reports.
According to the publication, Donald and Melania Trump earned $320 million from cryptocurrency and memecoin transactions alone. This does not include foreign real estate and an elite club in Washington, membership in which costs $500 thousand.
The newspaper also mentions Jeff Bezos’s offer to make a film about Melania Trump with a fee of $28 million, as well as a gift from the Qatari authorities – a personal Boeing 747 worth $200 million. This is recognized as the most expensive gift in US history.
The NYT notes that Trump has made the norm what could previously have caused a political scandal. According to the publication, he has abolished control and ethical mechanisms, fired government inspectors and strengthened control over Congress, the courts and the FBI.
The White House claims that Trump was a successful businessman long before his election and does not use his position for selfish purposes. It is also noted that he continues to profit from his sons’ businesses.
According to the NYT, the total wealth of the Trump family in March 2025 reached $5.1 billion, which is $1.2 billion more than the year before.
