President Trump Lost Nearly $1 Billion of Personal Wealth During 4-Years In Office (Details)
What’s a billion dollars to a multi-billionaire? Probably nothing. But what’s a billion dollars to a man with an ego the size of Donald Trump’s? Probably a lot.
That being said, the duly-elected POTUS didn’t care about losing money. He’s not dumb. He knew what he was getting in to when he ran declared his candidacy back in 2015.
But losing a billion dollars is what can happen when you don’t take a salary or make any business deals for four solid years.
From USA Today:
WASHINGTON – The presidency appears to have cost Donald Trump more than $1 billion in wealth.
Trump tumbled nearly 300 spots on Forbes’ billionaire rankings during his presidency, the magazine reported this week, with his estimated wealth falling from $3.5 billion to $2.4 billion during his four-year term.
CONTINUED:
That’s still good enough for 1,299th place on the magazine’s new billionaire list, down from 1,001st last year.
The list is topped by a frequent political target of Trump: Amazon and Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos, whose wealth is tagged at $177 billion.
