This week on Beyond the Billions… Forbes money and politics reporter Kyle Khan Mullins joins deputy editor Giacomo Tognini to discuss a financial phenomenon: the rapid and substantial growth of the Trump family fortune, estimated at around $10 billion.
Learn how Donald Trump and his children have accumulated their massive wealth, driven by highly speculative and wildly unregulated ventures. We examine how this family is attempting to profit off of politics in a way “no political family has ever attempted” before, covering everything from the volatility of crypto holdings to lucrative foreign deals in the Middle East.
