According to the analysis, the Trump Organization earned about $23 million from more than 20 international projects launched over the past year.
A new assessment by the editorial board of The New York Times has estimated that the United States President Donald Trump has generated at least $1.4 billion in income during his first year since returning to the White House.
The newspaper on Tuesday published a breakdown of the financial activities of Trump and his family, highlighting revenue streams that include overseas business projects, media deals, a luxury jet from Qatar, legal settlements, and ventures in the cryptocurrency market.
According to the analysis, the Trump Organization earned about $23 million from more than 20 international projects launched over the past year.
Another $28 million reportedly came from Amazon for an upcoming documentary on First Lady Melania Trump.
Tech and media companies paid $90.5 million in legal settlements, while the president accepted a $400 million Qatari jet, an arrangement that had earlier drawn public criticism.
The largest portion of the estimated windfall, $867 million, was linked to cryptocurrency enterprises associated with the Trump family.
The board added that additional, unverified crypto profits could run into “several hundred million dollars,” noting that the Trumps have acknowledged substantial gains from the sector.
The total, the editorial stated, represents earnings roughly 16,822 times higher than the median U.S. household income of $83,730 recorded in 2024 by the Census Bureau.
The figure does not include private donations that benefit Trump indirectly, such as corporate contributions toward the construction of a $400 million ballroom at his property.
While acknowledging that Trump was already the wealthiest individual ever to serve as U.S. president, the board cautioned against what it described as the potential exploitation of public office for private enrichment.
“It is impossible to know how often Mr. Trump makes official decisions, in part or entirely, because he wants to be richer,” the board wrote. “And that is precisely the problem.”
The newspaper said its conclusions were based on publicly available records and prior investigations by various news organizations.
Representatives of the Trump family and their business associates have previously disputed some of the estimates cited in the report.
