According to Bloomberg.com, Donald Trump claimed income of more than $557 million over the last year. That is equivalent to about $267,788.46 per hour.
The news release said Trump’s net worth has increased since his last financial disclosure, a 92-page document that he filed in July 2015. “As of this date, Mr. Trump’s net worth is in excess of $10 billion dollars,” the release said.
News reports have questioned the value that Trump places on his assets. Bloomberg News last year estimated his net worth at $2.9 billion. “They don’t know what they’re talking about,” Trump told CNN last July in response to that estimate.
Last year, Trump claimed 23 such assets, including aircraft, the Mar-A-Lago Club in Palm Beach, Florida, and a golf course in Scotland.
It’s also unclear how Trump is defining income. As first reported by Fortune, his 2015 disclosure appeared to conflate income and revenue for 20 income-producing properties that are among his largest, including golf courses and hotels. Federal disclosure requirements say a candidate must disclose income, which would be a smaller number than revenue -- after accounting for business expenses.
