Author: Wenser, Odaily Planet Daily

As the news that "Tron TRON is about to go public through the merger of SRM companies" spreads, the crypto market's attention has once again focused on the Trump family.

Although Trump's second son Eric Trump clarified that he would not hold a position in the new company Tron.Inc, he and Trump's eldest son Donald Trump Jr. still have interests with Dominari Securities, the matchmaker of the merger, which may bring millions or even tens of millions of dollars in revenue to the Trump family.

This year, from Meme project TRUMP, MELANIA to DeFi project WLFI, stablecoin USD1... Trump Crypto seems to have regarded the crypto market as an ATM and is snatching profits. But how much money you made is always a mystery.

Last Friday, the White House Office of Ethics released Trump's financial disclosure documents , which also gave us a glimpse of a corner of the Heavenly Palace. In this 234-page document, a business empire spanning real estate, tourism, media and cryptocurrencies has taken shape.

Odaily Planet Daily will briefly sort out the business assets under Trump in this article, and take this opportunity to get a glimpse of the "shadow business empire" behind this "the most powerful person in the world."

It is necessary to note that the deadline for this financial disclosure document is January 2025. Therefore, the related income of the "Trump Meme Coin" TRUMP issued on January 18 this year and subsequent related income including MELANIA tokens, USD 1 issued by WLFI, etc. are not included. Even so, Trump's personal assets can be called "rich family assets."

Trump's Vanity Fair: Grasp both entertainment and politics, Title is more

than just the US President

According to the document disclosure, in addition to relevant positions in the US president and other governments, Trump's Title also includes:

• General Manager, Chairman, Secretary and Treasurer of CIC Digital LLC (as of January 9, 2025) (Odaily Planet Daily Note: This is a company that specializes in Trump 's image licensing business in the NFT field, and the company also holds ETH worth over $1 million);

• General Manager, Chairman, Secretary and Treasurer of CIC Ventures LLC (as of January 9, 2025);

• Mar-A-Lago Club LLC is the current chairman (Odaily Planet Daily notes: refers to Mar-Lago Club, a fake club with a private residence and membership system, purchased by Donald Trump in 1985) ;

• Chairman and Director of the Board of Directors of Trump Media Technology Group (as of March 22, 2024);

• The current chairman of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts Board.

It can be seen that before taking office as president, Trump had already eliminated relevant positions that may have potential risks, but he was still "unable to give up" his base camp and cultural performance career.

Financial document disclosure information

WLFI token sales revenue exceeded US$50 million (see page 171 of the document for details)

Royalties business income exceeds US$10 million

As an "Internet celebrity president" who always attracts the attention of the Internet, Trump's books, endorsement brands (portrait rights and reputation rights, etc.) and NFT-related royalties also have a lot of revenue. Specifically:

• Trump watch: $2.8 million;

• Greenwood Bible: $1.3 million

Royalties income is astronomical

It is worth mentioning that as a businessman with a high awareness of intellectual property protection, Trump has also applied for hundreds of trademarks he owns around the world, including in China, South Korea, Venezuela and other countries, and detailed that such assets do not belong to his personal investment, including the related assets of First Lady Melania Trump.

"Trump" is on the list

Trump's "interest business philosophy": Golf-related single income

exceeds $17 million

In addition, perhaps it is the natural sensitivity of businessmen or personal interests and hobbies. In Trump's financial report, the income brought by golf-related assets is also not low.

In addition to the golf course-related revenue mentioned in the previous article, VH Property Corp., which owns a full-owned stake in RPV Development LLC (Odaily Planet Daily notes: The company was bought by Trump for $20 million in 2017, and lost $7 million in the second year of purchase). According to Bloomberg's website, VH Property Corp. is a golf industry company established in 2000, with its business line including golf-related courses.

Golf-related income belongs to the interest category to make money?

Encrypted positions: Holding 15.75 billion WLFI governance tokens

In addition to the direct income from the sale of WLFI tokens, Trump also holds 15.75 billion governance tokens held through the ETH wallet. The value is calculated in the financial documents to be around $1,000-15,000, and the income is recorded as less than $201. (Odaily Note: WLFI 's first round sales unit price is US$0.015, and the second round sales price is US$0.05. If calculated based on the current off-market price of US$0.1, Trump's tokens are worth US$1.57 billion.)

Is Trump also going to participate in WLFI governance?

Balance sheet: 11 liabilities, involving real estate loans, litigation

In addition, Trump's financial documents also mention his 11 liabilities, including:

• Real estate loans such as Trump Tower, Trump National Doral Golf Club, 40 Wall Street, etc.: Over $50 million;

• E. Jean Carroll (Odaily Planet Daily Note: The woman who previously sued Trump for sexual abuse and defamation) related cases: more than $50 million;

• American Express credit card liabilities: USD 15,000-50,000;

Trump's debt reveals

Perhaps many people would not have thought that Trump is also a "senior credit card user", real estate tycoon, business legend, and US president are also loyal users of bank credit cards. It can only be said that there is still a long way to go to popularize crypto stablecoins.

Interesting story 1: Trump's financial documents far exceed Biden and

Harris

It is worth noting that as many as hundreds of revenues in this 234-page financial document are less than $201, but are still listed in detail. In contrast, former US President Biden submitted only 11 pages of financial forms in 2024, and the main sources of income are traditional sources such as banks and retirement accounts, while Democratic presidential candidate Harris also has only 15 pages of financial forms.

From this we can see the difference in the financial situation between a businessman who has been ups and downs in the business world for decades and an official who has been ups and downs in the business world for decades: the former is extremely complex, while the latter is clear at a glance.

Interesting story 2: Trump was on the Forbes Rich List as early as 1982

According to the Forbes Billionaire Ranking Real-time List, Trump currently has assets of around $5.2 billion, ranking 718th on the Rich List. We previously went to the "24-hour reversal! When Musk just handed over an olive branch, Trump sentenced to the end of the relationship. "The article "The relationship is over" mentioned in the article "" ", his personal assets were still US$5.5 billion. In just a few days, his net worth had shrunk by US$300 million. It has to be said that for wealthy people like Trump and Musk, net worth is really just a digital game.

And as early as 1982, Trump was on the first Forbes 400 list with his father Fred, when his family 's total net worth was estimated at $200 million.

The son of a commercial real estate tycoon born with a golden spoon in his arms, now ascended the U.S. president due to his own efforts and the times. His personal wealth may continue to expand at an astonishing rate during the next four years of his tenure.
