Trump addresses wealth increase on 60 Minutes

President Donald Trump discussed his net worth during an interview on CBS 60 Minutes with correspondent Ross Douthat. Douthat cited Forbes valuations indicating that Trump’s net worth increased by roughly $3 billion between his 2024 campaign and late 2025. When asked about the increase, Trump stated that everyone’s fortune rose and suggested, "You should have had stock." Financial reporters and Forbes analysts attributed the growth to the public listing of Trump Media & Technology Group (DJT) and cryptocurrency ventures. Reports indicate that hundreds of millions were generated through memecoins, stablecoins, and token distributions tied to the Trump family's decentralized finance enterprise, World Liberty Financial. Trump stated that his sons oversee the family’s enterprise and real estate developments and that he declines his presidential salary. Ethics experts and watchdog organizations raised concerns regarding potential conflicts of interest between his personal wealth and federal economic policy.
