He's made an obscene amount of money from all the grifting he's done since getting elected potus the first time.

During the first term, I kept hearing that he wasn't nearly as rich as he claimed, that he probably wasn't even a billionaire, etc. But he started grifting every way he could right away, and has continued ever since. Even during the four years he was out of office, he was selling overpriced "Trump Bibles," gold hightop sneakers, and God knows what else. (I haven't bothered to keep track, but it's s been one thing after another, plus an untold amount for selling classified documents that he stole.)

Since he got back into office, it's obvious the grifting has gone into overdrive. He's evidently even selling pardons. There's no telling how rich he'll be by the end of this term (or the day he drops dead, whichever comes first).
