October 24, Fineko/abc.az. U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump has been included in the list of billionaires for the first time since August 6.

ABC.AZ reports that the name of the former head of state appears in the list of billionaires of the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. This occurred due to the fact that the shares of his media startup (Truth Social) rose in the political betting markets.

The former president's fortune has grown to $6.5 billion, as a result of which he took 481st place in the list of the 500 richest people in the world.

Truth Social, owned by Trump Media & Technology Group Corp. (DJT), has almost tripled its value since the end of September, as a result of which Trump's fortune on paper has increased dramatically.

Trump Media trades as a lawyer to bet on the possibility that Donald Trump will become the next president of the United States. The chances of Trump winning the November 5 election on the betting sites Polymarket and Predict It have increased in recent weeks.
