Here are the billionaires stocking Trump’s next administration
President-elect Trump has named several billionaires to top roles in his next administration — a combination worth over $360 billion that includes the world’s richest man.
Elon Musk, the Tesla CEO, brings the vast bulk of that wealth with a net worth of over $346 billion with that value fluctuating day by day. But even without Musk, the remaining billionaires who are worth a combined over $15 billion outpace Trump’s first administration, which at the time was the wealthiest in modern history at $6.2 billion. Trump himself is reportedly worth an estimated $5.6 billion.
Here are the billionaires expected to stock Trump’s next administration.
Elon Musk
The richest man in the world was tapped to co-lead the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), an advisory board tasked with looking at how to decrease government waste through cutting the federal workforce, government programs and regulations.
Musk, who was on Capitol Hill on Thursday meeting with lawmakers, is worth over $346 billion as of Friday. His net worth fluctuates regularly based on his business ventures and the market. Musk is the CEO of Tesla, SpaceX and owns X, formerly known as Twitter before he brought it in 2022.
Vivek Ramaswamy
Ramaswamy is the other co-lead of DOGE. He ran for president in the 2024 GOP primary for president before he dropped out and put his full support behind Trump.
