Trump's rating on the list of billionaires fell by almost 300 positions

From the beginning of his presidency in January 2017 until he left office a few months ago Donald Trump's fortune fell by almost a third - from $3,5 billion to $2,4 billion. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 index grew by 70%. Writes about this Forbes.

Every investor at some point scolded himself for holding assets for too long. However, perhaps no one has made such a grandiose miscalculation as Trump. By refusing to get rid of his portfolio after taking office, Trump missed out on a chance to capitalize on the market boom he fueled.

If he had sold everything on the first day, paid the maximum capital gains taxes on sales, and then poured the proceeds into the S&P 500 fund, he would have ended his presidency roughly $ 1,6 billion richer.

Currently, his fortune is estimated at $ 2,4 billion, which could lay claim to 1299th place on the Forbes list of billionaires, up from 1001st last year. Trump is actually richer than he was a year ago, but he couldn't keep up with the other billionaires on the list whose fortunes have skyrocketed.

Some properties owned by Trump have risen in price during this time, but others have fallen in value very much.
