What is Donald Trump’s net worth?

Donald Trump is having an expensive year.

Nearly six months into 2024, the former president was found guilty of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records following his hush money trial.

Following the ruling, the former president struggled to find financial backers to help him post the bond, and by mid-March the penalty had climbed to $464m with interest. But he finally received a lifeline when a New York appeals court
