Ever heard of Trump’s meme coin? Some people thought it made him super rich, really fast. But let's slow down and take a look.
Trump is already rich, sure. Billions, even. But the whole "crypto billionaire" thing? Not so fast. These coins aren't some magic ticket to instant wealth. They're more like shiny, digital toys that people buy because they like the guy they're linked to.
These coins are kind of like those bibles and sneakers Trump sells. They have his name on them, and people buy them for that reason. But they're not really worth a lot. Especially not the kind of money that would take Trump's wealth from billions to hundreds of billions.
People who know a lot about money, like Forbes and Bloomberg, say Trump's wealth is more about buildings and his social media business, Truth Social. They don't count those coins as a big part of his wealth.
You see, it's hard to figure out how much these coins are really worth. They go up and down like crazy. One day they're worth a lot, the next not so much. That's not a safe way to make money.
So, yes, Trump might make some money from these coins. But that doesn't make him a "crypto billionaire. " That's like calling someone a lottery winner because they bought a ticket.
