It used to be about $100,000.

In 2017, it went up to $200,000.

Now, it's a million dollars.

And listen, Trump makes hotel deals, right?

This is what he was doing way before he was ever president.

And there's an argument that the Trump Organization should be allowed to still make these kinds of hotel and golf course deals.

And this is why David is not counting every deal, right?

He is only counting, he says, deals that seem special, striking, deals or terms that he says are unlikely to have happened if Trump wasn't the president or incoming president.

Like these other deals in the Middle East, for example, specifically in the Persian Gulf.

Why, of course, they wouldn't.

Why?

Those are not the kinds of deals that the Trump Organization has gotten ever.

Next category, finance deals.

Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, after he was senior advisor to President Donald Trump in Trump's first term, he gets into private equity after basically being a real estate guy all his life.

And if you think that Jared Kushner's gain here shouldn't count towards the whole family gain, David says, fine, subtract it.

He made this list as a sort of choose-your-own-adventure.

All right, we're just going to do a little running total check here from the finance deals, the hotel deals, the lawsuits, all the way down to the merch deals.

We are at about a billion dollars in gains for Trump and his family.

But there is one final category with a bunch of things in it.

So now we're getting to the big stuff.
