The only politician to get poorer in office – yet somehow he’s the bad guy! Amazing how effective propaganda is without even a propaganda minister! https://t.co/UlHe7wbRvn

Trump drops off Forbes 400 list of wealthiest Americans https://t.co/e7f8A6sSje

Per the left leaning Axios:

Former President Trump has dropped off the The Forbes 400 rich list of America’s wealthiest people, the magazine announced Tuesday.

Driving the news: “With an estimated $2.6 billion fortune, he is $300 million shy of the cutoff” for the “annual measurement that Trump has obsessed over for decades, relentlessly lying to reporters to try to vault himself higher on the list,” Forbes said.

A factor in Trump falling off the list of 400 richest Americans was that the deal to merge his social media company Truth Social with a SPAC remained in limbo.
“If Trump’s platform were thriving, he would probably have no trouble finding alternate financing. But it’s not, and there is little reason to be optimistic about Truth Social’s future,” according to Forbes.

CBS covered the story too:

President Donald Trump is no longer rich enough to be included in the Forbes 400, an annual ranking of America’s wealthiest individuals, Forbes magazine said on Tuesday.

Trump is still a billionaire, with Forbes estimating his net worth at $2.6 billion. But that’s down from the magazine’s estimate a year earlier that the real estate tycoon was valued at $3.2 billion, which earned him a place on the 2022 rich list.

Trump’s estimated net worth of $2.6 billion is $300 million short of the baseline to make the Forbes 400 list. The richest person in America is Tesla CEO Elon Musk, with a net worth of $251 billion, according to the ranking.

Tumbling from the Forbes 400 might seem like a minor problem for someone who is extremely wealthy and running a second time for the highest office in the U.S. But Forbes noted that the Forbes 400 is an “annual measurement that Trump has obsessed over for decades, relentlessly lying to reporters to try to vault himself higher on the list.”
