Donald Trump’s wealth has increased by $460 million, bringing his total net worth to $6.6 billion. This growth is mainly because the value of Trump Media & Technology Group’s shares has gone up a lot. This increase happened over a five-week period, during which the company’s stock price more than tripled from its lowest point on September 23, which was $12.15. Since mid-September, Trump’s net worth has grown by over $2.5 billion, mostly because he owns nearly 115 million shares of Trump Media, which are now worth about $4.4 billion.
Trump Media’s success comes at a time when Trump’s chances of winning the 2024 presidential election are getting better. Earlier this week, his odds on the betting platform Polymarket reached 66%, making him the favourite over Vice President Kamala Harris. Although his odds went down to 65% by Friday, this change still helped the value of Trump Media’s shares to keep going up.
Trump Media’s stock price has gone up a lot recently, by over 30% in the past five days and more than 200% since September 23. This big jump has greatly affected Trump’s wealth. His shares in the company have been very profitable, and the stock’s ups and downs are closely linked to his chances in politics.
Key factors influencing Trump Media’s stock surge include:
- – Election Chances: Trump’s chances of winning the 2024 presidential election are getting better, even better than Vice President Kamala Harris’s chances.
- – Stock Growth: Trump Media’s stock has more than tripled in the last five weeks.
- – Company Growth: Trump Media is expanding, including the launch of Truth+ streaming on Android TV and iOS.
