00:19The message asks recipients to respond within a final 12 hours to take the poll,
00:24which leads them to a fundraising form according to Meta's Touch News.
00:26One excerpt of an email obtained by the news outlet reads,
00:29I hope you still love me, Chris.
00:31I didn't think you'd leave me hanging this close to Valentine's Day.
00:33My State of the Union address is coming up, and you still haven't answered this.
00:36The email also includes a picture of Trump appearing to be photoshopped in front of a
00:40Valentine's Day-themed heart-shaped background.
00:42The Valentine's Day funding campaign comes as Trump has amassed $3 billion in income
00:46during his second term in office, according to reporting from The New Yorker.
00:49The 70% gain has catapulted him 118 spots on the Forbes 400, where he is ranked 201.
00:55The president's move into the cryptocurrency market accounts for the majority of his new fortune,
00:59he made around $2 billion from World Liberty Financial and a Memcoin.
01:03He received a $500 million boost as a result of a New York appeals court throwing out his
01:07civil fraud penalty.
01:08His international licensing business also saw vast financial success, earning him another
01:13$400 million.
01:14Other members of the extended Trump family have also turned a profit.
01:17Since the 2024 presidential election, the family's net worth has nearly doubled.
01:21In total, the Trumps are now estimated to be worth an eye-watering $10 billion,
01:25Forbes Australia reports.
01:27Eric Trump, the president's second son, was estimated to be worth $40 million in 2024.
01:32But by 2025, his net worth had catapulted to $750 million due to his crypto ventures,
01:38and he's made more with crypto than any of his siblings.
01:41Most of his new fortune has been made through American Bitcoin,
01:44a crypto mining venture he co-founded in March 2025.
01:47American Bitcoin went public in early September and briefly made Eric a billionaire,
01:51but interest has since faded.
01:52However, Eric's 7.5% stake is still worth around $500 million.
01:57He's also estimated to have received a 10% cut of World Liberty Financial Token sales.
02:01Eric's fortune extends beyond crypto.
02:03Last May, he and his older brother Don Jr. traveled to the Middle East and signed a deal
02:07to license the family name on a golf resort in Qatar.
