Here’s How the Trump Family Spends Their Billions, From an $11 Million Beachfront Estate in St. Martin to a $13 Million Fleet of Private Jets

  • According to Forbes, newly elected President Donald Trump’s net worth is estimated at $5.6 billion.

  • The entire Trump family could be worth more than $6.7 billion, including the reported net worth of the Trump children.

  • The Trumps spend their money lavishly, from a large real estate portfolio to an airline fleet and designer clothing.

According to a November 2024 Forbes report, newly elected President Donald Trump’s net worth is currently estimated at $5.6 billion.

Not to mention the individual net worths of his adult children: $25 million each for both Donald Trump Jr. as Eric Trump, according to Forbes’ 2019 estimates; and a reported $10 million for Tiffany Trump, according to Celebrity Net Worth. Ivanka Trump, who runs her own business, has the largest net worth of any child. She and her husband Jared Kushner are estimated to be worth about $1.1 billion, as best shown by ethics filings that reflect the couple’s real estate holdings and additional investments.

Combined, this means the entire Trump family fortune could well exceed $6.7 billion.

From expensive penthouses and expensive education to luxury shops and an entire airline fleet: this is how they spend their money.
