Trump's Wallet: It’s Live. Here’s What We Built — and Why It Matters.
Today we're launching the Trump's Wallet series tracking how President Donald Trump's personal wealth has changed since 2016.
A note to Hunter Index subscribers on the launch of Trump’s Wallet.
We’ve been quiet lately. Here’s why.
For the past two years, we’ve been building something we’ve never attempted before — and something no one else has built: a single, searchable database of every asset, every income source, and every liability Donald Trump has disclosed to the federal government across five public financial filings, from his first presidential campaign in 2016 through his current term in office.
Today, that database is live. It’s free. It’s open. And it’s yours to use.
Here’s what we built.
Trump has filed OGE Form 278 financial disclosures since entering public life. We’ve processed five — covering 2016, 2020, 2022, 2024, and 2025. Each one lists his assets, his income, and his debts in broad ranges. The government publishes them. Nobody puts them together. We’ll add more filings as resources allow.
11,868 asset records. Five filing years. One searchable database.
You can search for a specific property, a specific business, or a specific creditor and see how it appears — or disappears — across his filings. You can filter by year, by asset type, by who owns what. You can pull up the raw disclosure detail behind any single record. And you can see, in one place, how his total reported assets, income, and net worth have shifted from candidate to president to candidate to president again.
We also built a trends view — charts that map his portfolio mix over time, benchmark his income year over year, and let you track individual assets across filings. It’s all driven by the same data, all drawn directly from the original OGE filings with no inference and no gap-filling.
A few things worth knowing about how we did this.
OGE disclosures don’t report exact figures. They report ranges — “$1 million to $5 million,” “$50,001 to $100,000.” We calculated median estimates for every record in the database. Those estimates are approximations. We say so everywhere. We’ve tried to be precise about what the data shows and honest about what it can’t.
We transcribed the records directly from the original filings. What’s blank in the original is blank in our database. We didn’t normalize, infer, or extrapolate. If it’s in the database, it came from a filing. If it didn’t come from a filing, it’s not in the database.
The only field that took some judgment is the asset type field that we based off of asset categories used by the House of Representatives for their disclosures.
The 2023 annual form isn’t in there — there was an OGE lawsuit note attached and overlapping time periods with other forms, so we decided to leave it out for now. Three more filings are coming: 2017, 2018, and the 2021 termination report. We’ll add them when they’re ready.
More is coming.
We’re working on a series of investigative pieces built from this data — starting with a comprehensive overview of what the five filings reveal about how Trump’s financial life has changed over a decade in public office, and an investigation into his cryptocurrency holdings and what the disclosures reveal about potential conflicts of interest.
We’ll share more as those pieces are ready to publish.
For now: go look at the database. Search for something. See what you find.
What does a president’s financial portfolio look like when you lay ten years of it out side-by-side?
