US President Donald Trump significantly expanded his personal and family wealth during his second term in office, with his net worth rising by at least $1.4 billion (₹12,800 crore) within a year of returning to the White House in January 2025, according to an investigation by The New York Times (NYT). The report alleges that Trump used the influence of the presidency to advance private business interests at home and abroad, even as his administration pursued aggressive tariff policies that burdened American consumers.
