特朗普净资产不断缩水，总统为何越当越穷？

唐纳德·特朗普是全球最大经济体的总统，但并不代表他越来越富有。

彭博社整理的数据显示，担任美国总统以来，特朗普的资产净值实际上一路下滑。

过去一年，特朗普的资产净值蒸发逾1亿美元，降至28亿美元，创竞选总统以来新低。虽然他的身家还是比大多数人梦想中多得多，但出现持续减少的趋势。

这是特朗普的资产净值连续第二年下降。彭博指出，资产减少的主要原因是纽约第五大道特朗普大厦和名下高尔夫球场的营业收入下滑，以及在多伦多、曼哈顿和巴拿马的物业损失。

而且，尽管并未剥离可能与就任总统形成利益冲突的资产，特朗普的资产价值仍在减少。特朗普并没有出售部分业务，而是选择放在儿子名下。但如果特朗普持有一些尚未公开披露的资产或者未公布的收入，彭博估算出的净资产结果可能低于实际身家。

特朗普本人方面，他对个人资产净值的估算确实比彭博高。他曾宣称自己身家87亿美元和100多亿美元。不过，多数估算认为实际数字更接近30亿美元，与彭博对特朗普资产净值的推测差不多。（财富中文网）

Donald Trump may be president of the world’s biggest economy, but that doesn’t mean he’s getting richer.

According to figures compiled by Bloomberg, Trump’s net worth has actually dropped since becoming president.

Trump’s net worth has dropped more than $100 million over the past year, down to $2.8 billion—the lowest since his campaign for president. While that may still be a bigger number than most of us can ever hope to see next to our name, it marks a continued decline for Trump.

This is the president’s second drop in net worth in the last two years. Bloomberg notes that much of the decline can be attributed to falling revenue from his tower on Fifth Avenue in New York and from his golf courses, as well as the loss of buildings in Toronto, Manhattan, and Panama.

This continued decline comes in spite of Trump not “divesting assets that might pose conflicts for his presidency.” Trump chose to put his sons in charge rather than sell parts of his company. Nevertheless, Bloomberg’s net worth estimate could be low if Trump has assets or received payments that have not been publicly disclosed.

For his part, Trump does appear to have higher estimates for his own net worth. He has variously claimed he was worth $8.7 billion and more than $10 billion. However, most estimates put that number closer to $3 billion—a figure more closely aligned with Bloomberg’s latest projection.
