He’s a billionaire, on paper. But the former US president’s lawyers have told a New York court it’s impossible for him to post a bond covering a US$454 million civil judgment against him.
Former US President Donald Trump faces a Monday deadline to post a bond covering a US$454 million civil judgment against him in a New York state case, after a judge found he had overstated the value of his assets.
His lawyers have told the court it’s impossible for him to raise that much money. In a Friday post on Truth Social, his social media platform, Trump said he had done nothing wrong. Failure to post the bond could lead to New York Attorney General Letitia James seizing his assets.
Trump’s lawyers did not respond to requests for a comment.
Below is a breakdown of some of Trump’s assets and sources of income, based on court filings and federal financial disclosures. In some cases the values reported by Trump were disputed in the New York civil case, which the real estate billionaire plans to appeal.Cash
Trump said in the Truth Social post on Friday that he has “almost 500 million dollars in cash”. In an April 2023 deposition with New York Attorney General Letitia James he said he had “substantially in excess of 400 million in cash”.
That number has gone up from Trump’s previous disclosures.
