While Donald Trump enjoys the power of being the President of the United States and handles daily media scrutiny and worldwide judgments, there are a lot of perks that also come with it. On paper, it’s a well-paying job, with an annual salary of $400,000, plus a $50,000 tax-free expense allowance, a $100,000 travel budget, and $19,000 put aside for entertainment and perhaps his McDonald’s burgers. 

However, Donald Trump has seemingly turned the position into an even bigger business opportunity. One that exceeds the privileges that he gets while in power.

According to a New York Times report, the entire family has found lucrative ways to monetize their time in the White House, including deals and partnerships involving cryptocurrency, high-profile documentaries, elite social clubs, and an alleged jet gifted by the royal family of Qatar.

As per The Mirror, capital and cash come from all sides. Trump, who’s been a businessman, has pulled strings to make money, as Amazon is shelling out a staggering $40 million to license a documentary about former First Lady Melania Trump, with her earnings from the deal expected to exceed $28 million, over 70% of the total.

Meanwhile, Melania also has an offer from Disney, which reportedly came in at just $14 million. In addition, the 78-year-old mastermind has also largely benefited from the launch of his $TRUMP meme coin. This currency has been claimed to be the ‘Official Trump Meme,’ embodies Trump’s message of ‘winning,’ and quickly gained traction, soaring by over 300% within hours of its launch in January 2025.

Earlier this week, about 220 top investors were invited to a grand dinner at Trump’s golf club in Northern Virginia. Reportedly, the guests, as they posted on social media, were served filet mignon and halibut. Donald Trump gave a 30-minute speech and grooved to the Village People’s YMCA.

At the same time, The Mirror reported that Trump’s son, Donald Trump Jr., is planning to launch an elite, exclusive, membership-based club in Washington, D.C.’s Georgetown area. I called the Executive Branch, and the club will open this summer in place of the old Clubhouse restaurant. Membership will cost $500,000 and offer access to two bars, a restaurant, a lounge, and a boardroom.

Sounds lavish, right? wait, there’s more. Donald Trump’s youngest son, Barron, who is a student at New York University, is also coming with his own business venture. Barron Trump will relaunch his Luxury real estate venture. The business was called Trump, Fulcher & Roxburgh Capital Inc. and was initially started in July of 2024. The company was officially dissolved post-Trump’s election win in November 2024.

He rebranded the company with a high schoolmate named  Cameron Roxburgh. The venture’s main focus is on golf courses and other properties. The Utah-based company launched in spring 2025. Therefore, it seems like the entire Trump family is a bunch of smart heads who know how to roll capital and expand resources for a lavish and sustainable future.

So, should we all come together and sing for Donald Trump? The famous track by Abba, Money Money Money, must be funny in the rich man’s (we mean Trump’s world).
