01 July 2026 19:58

US President Donald Trump has said he built his wealth before entering politics after reports put his 2025 income at about $1.4 billion.

Speaking at Joint Base Andrews, Trump noted that the US has funds that run his money, Caliber.Az reports, citing Bloomberg.

“I’ve made a lot of money before I became president, and they invested my money. I don’t even speak to them. <...> In business, I had a great career,” he stressed.

Earlier reports revealed his income was largely driven by businesses linked to cryptocurrencies and memecoins.
