On March 26, 2024, Trump Media & Technology Group (Ticker: DJT) debuted on the Nasdaq exchange, climbing over 30% in its first two days of trading. This gave the company a valuation of $9.4 billion, greatly increasing Donald Trump’s net worth.
To put this increase into perspective, we’ve visualized the past 10 years of Trump’s wealth as measured by Forbes.

It’s safe to say that going forward, Trump’s net worth will be largely influenced by the value of his stake in Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG). SEC filings have revealed that the former president has a stake of at least 58.1% in the company.
What is Trump Media & Technology Group?
TMTG is a media company founded in 2021 by Trump, debuting on the Nasdaq as a public company after merging with Digital World Acquisition Corp, a special-purpose acquisition company (SPAC).
Also known as “blank check companies”, SPACs are shell corporations listed on a stock exchange that acquire a private company with the purpose of making it public (without going through an IPO).
TMTG released its X (formerly Twitter) competitor, Truth Social, in Feb 2022. According to estimates from SimilarWeb, the platform had around 5 million monthly users as of Feb 2024.
DJT Slips After Reporting Weak Financials
After its hot debut on the Nasdaq, DJT shares have stumbled, falling by more than 20% on April 1. This is due to recent disclosures which revealed that the company lost over $58 million in 2023.
Revenue in 2023 was $4.1 million, which is higher than the $1.5 million generated in 2022.

Ranked: The Countries Sending the Most Remittances Abroad
Countries which host large diasporas from around the world rank highly on this list of places sending the most remittances abroad.
Ranked: The Countries Sending the Most Remittances Abroad
This was originally posted on our Voronoi app. Download the app for free on iOS or Android and discover incredible data-driven charts from a variety of trusted sources.
We chart the top 10 countries by the most remittances sent, in current U.S. dollars, based on 2022 data from Knomad.
Specifically, these transfer totals shown represent personal remittances, or money sent between residents in one country to another, including personal transfers and compensation for work done abroad. It does not include, and is separate from, foreign investment.
Top 10 Countries by Personal Remittances Sent (2000-2022)
The U.S. has consistently been home to the world’s largest immigrant population (45 million people in 2022), a key reason for topping the ranks of sending money abroad over the last two decades.
As a result, countries with largest diasporas in the U.S.—including Indian, the Philippines, and Mexico—tend to be the biggest recipients of these flows.
| Top Countries Sending Money Abroad | 2000 | Top Countries Sending Money Abroad (2022) | 2022 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🇺🇸 U.S. | $35B | 🇺🇸 U.S. | $82B |
| 🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia | $15B | 🇦🇪 UAE | $40B |
| 🇦🇪 UAE | $14B | 🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia | $39B |
| 🇩🇪 Germany | $9B | 🇨🇠Switzerland | $34B |
| 🇨🇠Switzerland | $6B | 🇨🇳 China | $18B |
| 🇬🇧 UK | $5B | 🇰🇼 Kuwait | $18B |
| 🇫🇷 France | $5B | 🇩🇪 Germany | $17B |
| 🇰🇷 South Korea | $4B | 🇱🇺 Luxembourg | $16B |
| 🇮🇱 Israel | $3B | 🇳🇱 Netherlands | $15B |
| 🇱🇺 Luxembourg | $3B | 🇫🇷 France | $15B |
Note: Figures rounded.
Similarly, immigrants make up nearly 80% of the population in the UAE (ranked #2 with $80 billion sent), the highest proportion of any country in the world.
Setting the countries sending the most money abroad side-by-side with those receiving money from abroad, reveals broad geographic patterns. Advanced economies (in North America and Europe) are the biggest senders to developing economies in Asia and Africa.
Finally, Switzerland, Netherlands, and Luxembourg are considered offshore financial centers and can be used as intermediary stops in the movement of money through the world.
Why are personal remittances important anyway? To start, a staggering one billion people (roughly one out of eight people in the world) depend on money sent back home. In 2022, 200 million migrant workers sent $800 billion to their families in home countries. Three-quarters of the money received is spent on basic necessities like food, medical, and housing expenses.
Thus, personal remittances represent, perhaps, one of the biggest informal engines of social transformation.
