This boosted Trump past leftist financier George Soros on the wealthiest list and near Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban.
If DJT continues climbing in resumed trading, Trump could surpass Soros and Cuban at $7.2-7.3 billion respectively.
His wealth rise places him close to owners like Robert Kraft and George Lucas, signaling the Trump Media deal substantially increased his net worth through stock in his Truth Social company.
