Donald Trump’s net worth has skyrocketed this October, doubling from under $4 billion to $8 billion, making him the 357th-wealthiest person globally.
According to Forbes, the surge is linked not to Trump Media’s financial performance but to his improving odds of winning the upcoming U.S. election. Shares of Trump Media & Technology Group jumped nearly 9%, closing at $51.51, the highest since June. Polls show Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris in a close race, especially in key battleground states.
