“From Wall Street to Web3: Trump Harvests $57 Million with Just One Token”

According to a recently released ethics report, 82% of Donald Trump's personal income in 2024 comes from WLFI, a DeFi token advised strategically by his own family:

🔸 WLFI Token – $57 million

• The largest sale in Q2/2024, driving the token price up fourfold after listing.

• A cold-storage wallet linked to Trump Org transferred $14 million in stablecoin to a trust fund in December 2024.

🔸 Brand revenue – $12 million

• Save America (book): $3 million

• Trump Watches: $2.8 million

• Sneakers & perfume: $2.5 million

• The Greenwood Bible: $1.3 million

• “45 Guitar” set: $1 million

• Speaking engagements: $0.7 million

Economic perspective

- The share of non-traditional income skyrocketed: from 25% in 2022 to 82% in 2024, reflecting the trend of American politicians leveraging Web3.

- Control risks: The WLFI profit-taking amount is 80 times the financial reporting threshold “which could influence OGE’s decision-making.”

- Spillover effect: After the announcement, tokens from projects with “celebrity signatures” increased by an average of 17% within just 24 hours (according to CoinMetrics).

JD Vance – a complete contrast

- Income of $50,000, almost “crypto-free” → building an image of “financial conservatism” in stark contrast to Trump’s risk-taking style.
