From a 58-bedroom estate to a helicopter fleet, here's how the Trump family spends their billions
Donald Trump's net worth is currently estimated to be $3.1 billion — down an estimated $400 million since he took office in January 2017.
According to his executive branch personnel public financial disclosure report, he earns anywhere from $597,396,914 to $667,811,903 between January 2016 and spring 2017.
His wealth comes from multiple sources, from golf-related and hotel-related revenue (nearly $340,000,000 combined) to Central Park Carousel admissions and ice skating rink revenue (more than $13,000,000 combined).
Before he was elected, Trump spent $66 million of his own money on his presidential campaign, according to campaign finance disclosures examined by Reuters.

Trump often traveled during his campaign using his huge aircraft fleet. He reportedly bought a Boeing 727 for $8 million back in the day, which he then replaced in 2010 with a Boeing 757 that he reportedly bought from Microsoft's Paul Allen for $100 million.
According to the New York Times, it burns fuel at a rate of thousands of dollars an hour.

He also owns a Cessna jet, which reportedly was worth $15.3 million new and had a resale value of $3.2 million in 2016.

And that's not to mention his three Sikorsky helicopters. Pre-owned Sikorsky S-76s typically sell for $5 million to $7 million — not counting the estimated $750,000 Trump spent redoing the interior of his most recent purchase, which involved 24-karat gold-plated hardware.

Trump also has a collection for the road. He reportedly owns a vintage Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud, Rolls-Royce Phantom (which starts at $500,000), a Maybach, a Ferrari, and a Mercedes-Benz 3600. He also reportedly bought Melania a $455,000 SLR McLaren.

Trump has an affinity for Brioni suits, which range from $5,250 to $6,900. While the brand supplied him with suits during "The Apprentice," he started paying for them during his campaign trail.

Melania also has a taste for pricey fashion. She's been spotted wearing everything from a $2,095 Givenchy cape dress at the International Red Cross Ball to a $7,995 Monique Lhuillier sequined gown at the White House Historical Association dinner. That's nothing compared to the time she stepped out in a $52,000 Dolce & Gabbana jacket.

She's also donned more casual and affordable attire on several occasions, such as Converse, which retail for less than $50.

To complete her look, Melania has her own makeup artist, Nicole Bryl, who told US Weekly of Melania's plans to have a "glam room" in the White House. She also has a hairstylist who makes house calls and travels with her.

Melania is a full-time mom and likes to be hands-on, so she refuses to spend money on a nanny. She does indulge son Barron Trump in a lavish lifestyle, dressing him in suits and moisturizing him with her brand's Caviar Complex C6 moisturizer.

In New York, Barron was attending Columbia Grammar and Preparatory School, which cost $40,000 a year. Now, he attends St. Andrew's Episcopal School in Maryland, which also costs $40,000 a year.

A real estate tycoon, Trump has more than one residence. The Trumps have often been spotted Mar-A-Lago, a 17-acre estate in Palm Beach, Florida, that Trump purchased for $10 million. It has 58 bedrooms, 33 bathrooms, 12 fireplaces, and 3 bomb shelters.

But that's not the only estate under the Trump name — they also bought a 23,000 square-foot mansion in Charlottesville, Virginia, for $6.5 million. Trump purchased the vineyard and winery on the property for $6.2 million in a prior deal. He later sold the vineyard to his son, Eric Trump, and it's now known as Trump Vineyard Estates.

Eric and his wife Lara reportedly have two residences — a $2,036,500 apartment in Trump Parc East and a home in Westchester.
