WASHINGTON, March 26 – Despite an ever-growing number of legal cases against him, US President and businessman Donald Trump is richer than ever with US$6.5 billion in net wealth, Sputnik quoted a Bloomberg report.
Trump’s net worth surged by $4 billion alone on Monday after his social media company Trump Media & Technology Group announced its plans to go public on Tuesday after a 29-month-long merger, the report said on Monday.
For the first time in his life during which Trump’s net worth has never peaked higher than US$3.1 billion, Trump has joined the club of the 500 wealthiest people in the world, the report said.
On Monday, an appeals court agreed to grant Trump ten more days to post a bond in his civil fraud case as well as slashed the bond amount from US$454 million to US$175 million, according to a court order.
Later in the day, Trump said in a Truth Social post that he would abide by the latest appeals court decision and post either a bond, securities, or cash. He also noted that this was the fifth time that a superior court had overruled an order of Judge Artur Engoron in the case.
