President Donald Trump's estimated net worth has risen to about $6.5 billion, according to the latest estimate from Forbes.
That figure is an increase of roughly $1.4 billion over the past year.
The updated figure places Trump 645th on Forbes' global list of billionaires.
Much of the increase has been linked to new ventures and changes in the value of existing assets.
Forbes estimated that Trump generated about $550 million over the past year through sales of cryptocurrency tokens issued by World Liberty Financial, a digital finance venture launched in September 2024 with partners that include investor Steve Witkoff.
The outlet also estimated that Trump and his partners sold a 49% stake in the venture to Aryam Investment, a firm backed by United Arab Emirates national security adviser Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan, which Forbes estimated produced an additional $200 million for Trump.
Trump reportedly also holds millions of cryptocurrency tokens tied to World Liberty Financial and his $TRUMP meme coin.
Forbes estimated those holdings at roughly $570 million combined, while valuing Trump's remaining 38% ownership stake in World Liberty Financial at about $240 million.
Trump's finances also benefited from a legal development in August when an appeals court threw out a $517 million civil fraud penalty previously imposed in New York, eliminating the liability while New York Attorney General Letitia James continues to appeal the ruling.
Several of Trump's real estate holdings have also increased in value.
Forbes estimated the value of Mar-a-Lago, Trump's private club in Palm Beach, Florida, at approximately $560 million.
Trump purchased the property in 1985 for about $10 million.
The outlet also estimated that Trump's 10 golf courses across six states are now worth about $550 million, up from an estimated $340 million a year earlier.
Other business interests have seen declines.
Shares of Trump Media and Technology Group, the parent company of Truth Social, have fallen over the past year, reducing the estimated value of Trump's stake to about $1.2 billion from roughly $2.6 billion a year earlier.
Trump has also reported income from licensing and branded products.
Time reported that his 2025 financial disclosure listed several million dollars in royalty income, including $3 million from sales of Bibles promoted on musician Lee Greenwood's website.
The disclosure also reported $1 million in income tied to a "45" branded guitar, $2.8 million from Trump watches, and $2.5 million from Trump sneakers and fragrances.
